Blood Awakening Blood on a Rose Legacy Rose Blackwood never imagined her inheritance would come with secrets older than time itself. When she returns to her late grandmother's estate, she discovers a world where plants respond to her emotions, shadow creatures whisper from the dark, and an ancient magic pulses in her veins. As she grapples with her newfound identity as a Guardian... protector of life itself... she's thrust into a deadly game of power and deception. Her only ally is Alaric, a vampire sworn to protect her, whose silver eyes and dark past ignite something dangerously irresistible within her. But their bond is forbidden, breaking the laws that have kept the balance between life and death in check for centuries. With the ruthless Shadow Court closing in and the Council watching their every move, Rose must decide: obey the rules set by a world that fears her power, or embrace the chaos that threatens to consume her and tear the very fabric of reality apart. Passion, magic, and betrayal collide in Blood Awakening, a spellbinding tale of love, destiny, and the courage to defy fate.
