Delirium

A vampire queen, her husband, and her knight must try to maintain control of their fracturing court in this scorching romantasy from the USA Today bestselling author of the Bitten and Bound series and Dhampira.

In Nocta, balance hangs by a thread. The ruthless vampire despot has been defeated, leaving his throne unoccupied and many parties interested in ruling. Vampires want to maintain control of the realm, werewolves want to rule themselves, and witches move in the shadows, garnering unknown powers.

Corinthe, Lorcan, and Vander are thrust into the center of this struggle and are determined to bring peace to Nocta. And yet, the greatest threat may lie in Corinthe’s bed. Two centuries of consuming dead blood has degraded Lorcan’s mind, driving him to the brink of delirium. Unwilling to burden Corinthe while she fights for the throne, he says nothing, even as his grip on reality continues to waver.

It falls to Vander to keep Lorcan’s secret. Caught between Corinthe’s ambition and Lorcan’s unraveling, Vander alone knows the cost of the crown and what it will take to stop the man he and Corinthe love from slipping beyond reach. Love has kept them all alive thus far. But they’re not just fighting to keep a kingdom. They must also fight to keep one another before one of them is lost forever.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
