Publisher's Synopsis
This series is perfect for readers who enjoy young adult slow-burn romances. It includes vampires, witches, and elemental magic. Other tropes in the series include fated mates, past lives, kidnapping, a villain obsessed with the heroine, and forbidden love.
Mercy sacrificed her heart for the greater good, but love may be more powerful than her magic.
Mercy's plan was supposed to be simple: remove her feelings for Dorian and continue the mission-to destroy the vampires who held her prisoner. But not all spells are perfect, and love may be stronger than any spell she could conjure.
Meanwhile, Maurice has disregarded Mercy's warning, and his sick game of cat and mouse has only just begun. He's coming for her again and has no intention of stopping.
"I couldn't wait for the second book in this series, and it did not disappoint! I love Mercy and how she is this strong independent woman but keeps her family and friends close to protect them. There are so many twists throughout the book it kept me on the edge of my seat!"

Author Notes:
For a spicy, adult edition of this story, download Taken: Blood of the Chosen, book two, under my second pen name, D.L. Blade.
The Dark Underworld was initially published in 2019 under my second pen name, D.L. Blade. Since then, I've done several revisions and had it re-edited by Courtney Caccavallo. This edition features mild language, fade-to-black intimate situations, and violence. Intended for a 14+ audience.
