Downloading Blood of the Great Ring

Nemira loves everything about this foreign princess, enough to almost wish it was possible for two women to love each other.

Those who bear the blessing of the Great Ring, the Ringborn, can only access the gift of their magic through the taking of consorts. Those with rich ancestry, such as Princess Orsetta, are capable of hosting dozens, each one giving more and more magic, while the consorts gain just the barest touch of her gift.

Princess Orsetta is well aware of this, yet she's always refused the opportunity to sleep with men. Instead, she’s spent her life until her death studying her favorite illegal subject of necromancy from afar. A noble's privileges can afford her the right to study whatever she pleases, she continuously insists--even from the bottom of a grave.

Princess Nemira can't stand the strings placed around her neck, the expectations placed on her for being the sole heir of her late mother. Even if she doesn't yet have the words to describe why marriage causes her heart to drop so much, or why she's so hesitant to take her arranged husband as consort.

When she finds the corpse of a woman in a shallow grave, bite wounds festering, she seizes that opportunity to flee from her arranged marriage. Joining alongside the misplaced Orsetta, whose condition grows worse, Nemira slowly grows a misshapen fondness for the foreign princess.

Blood of the Great Ring is a sapphic vampire romantasy between two princesses in a highly homophobic society. As a standalone novel it contains light spice, heavy necromancy, and a full story arc.
