The Captive and the First Blood Game

Don't miss out on the stunning DELUXE LIMITED EDITION while supplies last. This breathtaking collectible is only available on a limited first print run in the U.S. and Canada only, a must-have for any book lover.

Before The Wren in the Holly Library, there was The Monster and the Last Blood Match and as the provocative, sensual Blood Type series continues, the rare bond between Reyna and Beckham is threatened by betrayal, greed, and twisted secrets.

Everyone wants a piece of her.
He wants it all.

Reyna Carpenter trusted the wrong people...and paid the price.

Held captive in the heart of a vampire empire, her freedom stripped and blood claimed, Reyna survives the only way she knows how--hope. Hope that she'll find a way to escape. Hope that she'll be reunited with Beckham. Hope that when she gets out of here, love will be waiting on the other side.

Except escape isn't salvation. It's only the beginning.

Because the world outside has changed. Lines have been drawn. Allegiances have shifted. And Reyna? She's no longer the girl who walked willingly into the dark.

But she'd do it all over again for Beckham.

Now she has to decide how far she'll go to reclaim her freedom...and the vampire she's fallen for. Because power runs through Reyna's veins, power others will do anything to control--which means she'll have to do more than just survive.

She'll have to fight back.

The Blood Type series is best enjoyed in order.
