The Rising Dark
by Celia Thorn
Publication date: October 22nd 2025
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance
Synopsis:
She would kill for you.
Michelle’s perfectly ordinary life is thrown into chaos when she’s attacked one night by a terrifying monster straight out of a horror movie. The only thing that stands between her and her demise is Lavinia: tall, gorgeous… and a vampire.
She would worship you… if you let her.
To keep Michelle safe, Lavinia whisks her away to stay with a band of female sword-wielding vampires. Every day they strive to find out who is trying to kill Michelle and why; and every day, Michelle’s feelings for her chivalrous rescuer grow. But Michelle is just a regular nurse, and Lavinia is a beautiful, centuries-old vampire with a vow to protect the innocent. To get their happily ever after, they’ll have to navigate their differences… and slay some demons in the process.
The Rising Dark is the first book in a sapphic paranormal romance series centred around a Sisterhood of vampire warriors finding love.
