About this Item

Paperback. He was born to power, then stripped of it and left to rot beneath the boots of a man who takes what he wants and leaves disaster in his wake. Malakai once belonged to high society. Now he lives in its shadows. After his father's death brands him a bastard and strips his family of title and wealth, Malakai and his mother are forced into servitude beneath the roof of the cruel and calculating Lord Kensington. Each day is a lesson in humiliation. Each night, a reminder that survival sometimes costs more than dignity. But Malakai has endured worse than hunger. Worse than cold. Worse than being invisible. Through it all he has learned how to survive. When he crosses paths with a mysterious woman in a moonlit alley, a woman as dangerous as she is breathtaking, something ancient and restless awakens inside him. She is fire wrapped in silk. Beauty sharpened into a blade. And for the first time in years, Malakai feels something other than rage. Hope. But, hope is a fragile thing in a world ruled by power, corruption, and carefully gilded betrayal. Because in this world, mercy is weakness. Kindness is exploited. And love is a luxury reserved for the powerful. Malakai will learn the feeling of love, loss, and vengeance in ways he never imagined possible. Forged in Venom is a dark, slow burn historical romance filled with tension, obsession, twisted games, morally gray characters, vampires, and the dangerous allure of power. Set against the glittering brutality of high society, this story explores survival, vengeance, and the kind of love that rises from ruin and defies time. For readers who crave intensity, grit, and passion sharpened to a blade's edge, this is only the beginning. In a world built to break the weak, they will not be consumed. They will be forged. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

He was born to power, then stripped of it and left to rot beneath the boots of a man who takes what he wants and leaves disaster in his wake. Malakai once belonged to high society. Now he lives in its shadows. After his father’s death brands him a bastard and strips his family of title and wealth, Malakai and his mother are forced into servitude beneath the roof of the cruel and calculating Lord Kensington.
