Forged in Blood (Broken Bloodlines, 1)

Every few millennia, a child is born. Some say they’re marked with a curse. Others claim they possess the power of the ages.

Growing up an orphan with nobody in her corner has fueled Ophelia's ambition to become a social worker and help the forgotten children just like her. For a foster kid with only slightly above-average grades, it’s always felt like a pipe dream. So when an unexpected opportunity to attend Montridge University arises, she thinks her life is finally taking a turn for the better.

Until she comes to the attention of the three ruthless, arrogant commanders of the Ruby Dragon Society. Three of the most feared and powerful vampires on campus. But Ophelia doesn’t believe in vampires. Or in witches, or magic, or ancient prophecies.

Little does she know, she’s about to have her whole world turned upside down. Because there is something about Ophelia Hart. Something that captures the attention of not only the Ruby Dragon commanders, but also their powerful, enigmatic sire―Professor Alexandros Drakos.

Ophelia must learn to trust the very men whom all others fear. And she needs to do it fast, for there are darker forces at work than those at Montridge University. Forces that were long ago forged in blood.
