The Nightborne Coven is the mesmerizing first installment in The Origin Vow, an adult fantasy romance that whisks you away to a mythic late–nineteenth-century world where humans share an uneasy existence with the enigmatic Elaren. These wondrous beings emerged from the wellspring of imagination itself born of stories, dreams, and myths that have gained unexpected humanity. Sirens, vampires, fairies, demi-gods, once mere figments of fantasy, now they stride amongst the waking-world, pulsing with their own thoughts, desires, and undeniable magic. As humans grapple with the jarring reality that their creations are alive and powerful. Causing centuries deep-seated resentment between both communities leading to sporadic calamity. Following the tragic demise of Prince Aureilan IV— human brother to the Queen of Aureveran. A rumor continued to whisper: he discovered a path to harmonize both realms. Whoever dares to complete his unfinished legacy holds the key to a revolutionary upheaval. For now, Elaren must not ask, tell, or shift in public. Until there is some peaceful resolve.
This story ignites with Syrah. She is three-and-twenty, an embodiment of womanhood cloaked in two last names, standing tall with impeccable posture, marked by a relentless compulsion to fulfill every expectation placed upon her. One fateful morning, she awoke to a world where sleep became an past concept. With a fierce resolve, she attempted to brush her hair, to get dressed, only to fail as she could not see as she once did. Syrah quietly chronicled her newfound everlasting wakefulness among the many secrets she will never share in polite society.
Syrah is Elaren, a creature of the night, a vampire; yet, while her kin embrace eternity by mastering their very essence, Syrah finds herself in the whirlwind of existential doubt, questioning if she is even still alive.
Before you venture forth, she implores you for a simple favor nothing grandiose, just this: stand in the place where a mirror would traditionally be. She leans on you for unwavering honesty, if nothing else.
While most adults traverse life bearing quiet uncertainties about their purpose, Syrah wrestles with the very torment of her mortality. In that exquisite discomfort, she reaches out to the only human she trusts enough to confide in: Dr. Viscarian, a distinguished scholar at Larian University, notorious for his eloquent research on the Elaren. She calls his books love letters, but in truth, they are precious blueprints for survival.
At his encouragement, Syrah boldly applies to Larian University and triumphantly secures a place in a PhD program focused on rare and unstudied biology and theory.
Now, it’s time for Syrah to forge her own path, crafting rules that resonate with her spirit. Almost instantly, she earns the distinguished title of Larian Jewel Scholar and is honorably pinned Lady Amethyst, granting her unmatched access to groundbreaking research that may finally unveil the answers she seeks. But no sooner does the pin grace her collar than her turbulent past rears its head to claim what’s owed. There’s only one other scholar navigating her realm. And to her dismay, he is utterly insufferable. Lycendric, the esteemed Dr. Viscarian’s protégé, stands as a final-year scholar and a prodigy, a man so fiercely committed to maintaining intellectual aloofness that he has chosen to complete his dissertation in total seclusion for three long years by choice. Through an academic twist of fate, he is thrust into the role of Syrah’s partner. To safeguard his reputation and prevent hers from devolving into a circus, he grudgingly agrees to lead her research. This partnership is a monumental mistake.
Because Syrah’s work transcends mere theory. She is a passionate vampire delving into her own depths. As she embarks on this journey, her exploration of covens unfurls these intricate structures that shape her existence. Adoption is a common thread that weaves through the tapestry of their world, as the number of human-to-vampire Elaren awakenings surges. The Hallowed Blessed are summoning those who roam without a coven, urging them to find their true place and unite with them. It is a Vampire Requirement, an undeniable call to arms… Two powerful figures draw near, and she senses that this might be it the revelation she’s been yearning for… Yet as her research intensifies, Syrah finds herself grappling with perilous inquiries: is a coven truly her need… or is it merely a façade for what her non-existent heart genuinely seeks?
Syrah does not tread this path in isolation. Her roommates women brimming with grace, unyielding power, and beautifully concealed truths each harbor profound secrets. Magic left unspoken. Identities intricately crafted into socially acceptable forms. None of them are ordinary; all have mastered the art of survival by skillfully. This collective restraint does not shatter them; it forges an unbreakable bond.
Together, they are irresistibly drawn into an enigmatic society within Larian itself: the Elaren Circle. Its members known as Bloomkeepers are united by the daring choice: to cease their impeccable concealment. Called forth into an labyrinthine challenge, Syrah faces a simple yet merciless question: Will you unhide to unite? What unfolds is a mesmerizing exploration of identity, restraint, longing, and power.
Welcome to The Origin Vow. This is not just an adult fantasy romance; it’s a daring exploration of desire and danger. The themes pulse with maturity, while the magic throbs with intimacy, entwining hearts and fates. The consequences are tangible, igniting a fire within. And as Syrah dives deeper, she will discover that lurking in the reflection is infinitely more perilous than embracing the light of her truth!
