About this listen

In a world where magic determines survival and bloodlines dictate fate, an ancient war reignites.

Caleb was raised to hate vampires. As a young magician from the Oligarch Kind, his life was shaped by discipline, duty, and the belief that magicians and Vampires must never mix. But when he falls for Elizabeth, a vampire of the Gammon Coven, everything begins to unravel.

Elizabeth is on the run, trying to protect her gifted daughter, Lilith, whose magic may hold the key to a lost and powerful Eolith stone—an artifact vampires would kill to control. As alliances fracture, prophecies emerge, and power shifts violently, Lilith’s visions begin to blur the line between salvation and ruin.

Caleb’s double-specialization—once thought impossible—marks him as a savior to some and a threat to others. As he ascends through the ranks of a broken Alliance, he is forced to choose between the war he was born into and the love that could destroy him.

When betrayal runs deeper than blood and ancient stones begin to awaken, the true enemy reveals itself—not just in the shadows, but within.

Perfect for fans of high-stakes magic, forbidden love, and morally gray heroes, The Battle Grounds: Bloodlines and Magic is the explosive first entry in a dark fantasy saga where no one escapes unscathed.
