Love In Cold Blood

Sky Altalune\'s life has been a relentless nightmare. At just 16 years old, she has suffered years of unimaginable abuse at the hands of her mother, Patricia, and her stepfather, Gerald. Her only solace is her diary, where she confides her pain and longing for escape. But her world shatters further when Patricia sells her to the mysterious and powerful King Sattarro, who intends for Sky to marry one of his three sons.

Upon arriving at the Sattarro castle, Sky is thrust into a web of secrets and danger. She meets the Sattarro family: the domineering King Sattarro, his cold and distant queen, and their three sons: Jason, Lou, and the eldest, Dakota. Jason is dismissive and predatory, Lou is charming yet elusive, and Dakota, favored by the king, is shrouded in mystery and menace.

Sky is betrothed to Dakota, despite his brothers\' objections, and soon discovers his dark secret—a hidden room filled with mementos of his previous fiancées, who have all mysteriously disappeared. As she delves deeper, Dakota reveals the horrific truth: the king himself practices dark rituals, sacrificing young women to maintain his power and youth.

Sky must use all her wits and courage to escape the Sattarro family\'s dark legacy, or become its next victim.
