The Vampire Diaries meets The Serpent and the Wings of Night in a high fantasy world of power-hungry royals and vengeful gods. All set against the backdrop of a deadly magical tournament . . .

In exchange for her brother’s life, Arvelle must enter the Sundering –– a deadly competition where the winners are chosen for the Imperius –– the emperor’s elite guard.

It’s a dangerous task made even worse when she attracts the attention of the same ruthless vampire who shattered her heart six years ago.

With elite gladians targeting her in the lethal arena, and an assassin picking the competitors off one-by-one, Arvella has no choice but to ally with the man who once betrayed her. The man who has since become even more implacable, colder and merciless.

Praise for We Who Will Die

The start of the next great franchise . . . a bit of everything that makes the genre what it is. The perfect mix of what audiences are interested in right now

WinterisComing.net

Stacia Stark delivers an absolute banger of scorching romance, gladiatorial action, and vampire power dynamics. We Who Will Die sets a blistering pace from the first chapter, delivering epic fights, twisty intrigue, and high-stakes romance. One of my top reads of the year!
