Codex of Blood

The Art of Eternal Night: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

She came for the secret written in her blood. She stayed for the vampire guarding it for centuries.

His mouth was on her wrist before the lesson began.

His thumb found her pulse like he'd memorized it. The warmth that climbed her arm had nothing to do with magic.

That was the lesson.

The rest happened against the wall.

She spent eight years invisible. Now she's the key to a machine that makes erased women visible again—and the vampire guarding it has been waiting three centuries for exactly her.

The walls are writing back. In her handwriting. From before she arrived.

Six days to activate the machine before the enemy binds her to it permanently. Six nights with a man who says "You. Only you" against her throat while seven hundred years of composure comes apart inside her.

The magic requires the bond at full expression. On workshop floors. Against canal walls. In every way you're hoping that means.

One name finally signed.

A vampire who knows what patience costs.

This book will ruin you.

Author

Raven writes the kind of books you hide under your pillow and stay up way too late reading—full of forbidden magic, fated-mate tension, shifter adventures, sexy prophecy-breaking heroes, and witches who don’t follow anyone’s rules (especially not destiny’s).

She lives on moonlight, moonbeams, a spicy drama plot, and men who look at witches like they’re the only spell worth breaking.

When she’s not writing steamy, spell-soaked adventures, she’s daydreaming about immortal lovers, building new fantasy worlds, or whispering “just one more chapter…” to herself at 3:00 AM.

Her stories promise:

swoony dangerous heroes
powerful heroines with bite
forbidden bonds
magic that refuses to behave
and kisses that can save—or ruin—the world.

If you love your romance steamy, witchy, and just a little unhinged…
