Dark Reign of Forever

A Dark Vampire Paranormal Romance

Dominique Marchant never asked to be a vampire, much less the destined lord of them all. Nor did Cassidy Chandler ask to be the human queen who makes his rule possible — bound to him through a telepathic link so deep that where one soul ends and the other begins has become impossible to say.

Synopsis

Destiny claims them. Only a dream can save them.

Dominique Marchant never asked to be a vampire, much less the destined lord of them all. Nor did Cassidy Chandler ask to be the human queen who makes his rule possible — bound to him through a telepathic link so deep that where one soul ends and the other begins has become impossible to say.

Together, they struggle to subdue the five-thousand-year-old hunger he has inherited. He longs to feel the sun again. She has no desire to become a creature of the night. Yet the bond between them is pulling them both toward a reckoning neither can avoid.

When a powerful elder defies Dominique’s rule and blood is spilled, the fragile peace shatters. Their human families are targeted. A friend is turned to ash. And as a mortal among immortals, Cassidy faces a danger that grows with each passing night. Gathering their unlikely band of allies, they pursue the threat deep into the Canadian wilderness — and straight into their worst nightmares.

Untold lives are now at stake, along with their own. The only way out is to accept the dark destiny they never wanted…or gamble everything on a dream that could destroy them all.

Some choices, once made, are forever.

Dark Reign of Forever is the epic conclusion to the Dark Destinies trilogy — a sweeping paranormal romance of immortal power, impossible choices, and a love story that transcends the boundary between life and death. Featuring a vampire king, the woman who is his equal in every way that matters, and a world on the brink of transformation.

For fans of J.R. Ward, Kresley Cole, and Christine Feehan.

Content note: steamy scenes, violence, grief, pregnancy loss, and mature themes. Should be read after Dark Heart of the Sun and Dark Lord of the Night.

Previously published as Dark Child of Forever.

About the Author

S.K. Ryder writes dark paranormal romance set in the same sultry, palm-shadowed South Florida she calls home — vampires included, as far as anyone can prove. Her stories reflect her deep love of nature and are filled with adventure, suspense, humor, and slow-burn romance, most notably in the Dark Destinies series, where a tormented French vampire and the mortal woman who refuses to fear him upend five thousand years of vampire history.

Before settling near the beaches that inspired the series, she lived in Germany and Canada and traveled widely, usually in hot pursuit of wild and scenic spaces. When not writing or working as a freelance programmer, she’s plotting her next scuba diving or river rafting trip, beachcombing, or getting lost in a book. Should push come to shove, she can also bake a halfway decent cake and stand on her head, though not (usually) at the same time.
