The Salvation by Emily Shore
Don’t you know better than to invite a vampire inside?
I’ve burned with the dragon God of Fire. I’ve soared with the fallen angel God of Air. I’ve danced with the fae God of Earth.
Now, I’m sleeping in a coffin with the vampire God of Blood.
Perhaps I’d rather drown in the vampire’s dark tide.
From vampire castes and cults determined to claim me, the danger and threats are greatest in the Court of Hollows. None more than Merikh himself.
He’s determined to break me. I will break myself.
He wants to drown me. I will dive into his dark sea.
I won’t stop fighting for Merikh. I trust our broken hearts may bond with every scar he gives me. I trust he will keep my heart beating until I hold his soul in my hands and conquer this Curse once and for all.
I will become the blood that writes the salvation of his soul…

1. Who was Merikh Howle?
2. I will bring death to her as I have all others.
3. I made a vampire, a king, a god tremble...and breathe heavier.
4. The stakes are highest. I have everything to lose.
5. "Don't be such a baby. I didn't hit you that hard..."
6. She will never love my scars, nor all my sadistic monsters.
7. I have no choice but to place my faith, my trust, and all my hopes in the vampire I love.
8. I said I won't play fair, and I mean it...
9. “Are you ready, my little dove?”
10. I’d rather embrace death than watch the life bleed out of Kyan’s eyes.
11. "You don't speak to her. You never speak to her..."
12. I am the only living soul in this realm.
13. "The spy's head does bear the sigil..."
14. “Apart from Merikh alone, no vampire may bite you.”
15. "You knew what you were getting into. Break me, you said."
16. “Give me back my child now,” I demand, stepping toward the invader.
17. "I'll take her lovely blood this time..."
18. I will be the mortal who brought back Malachor.
19. "I had it crafted especially for you, my Merry Howle..."
20. "If you didn't want to contend with a monster, you shouldn't have given her claws..."
21. More blood. More punishment. More souls snuffed from existence by my hand.
22. “It was the first night Shadow emerged.”
23. Through death, through the God of Souls, I live.
24. "Don't trust whatever you see, little dove..."
25. “If the weaver catches you, it will be your end.”
26. “You failed, child of scars.”
27. “I’m the storm of your soul, Merikh.”
28. “Why? Why didn’t you tell me?”
29. "I'm quite fond of screams."
30. “It seems I’ve caught a little bird trying to fly away...”
31. " I'll look forward to hunting her presently."
32. “So help me God of Blood, beat—your—damn—heart—out!”
33. Our quadrumvirate becomes a quintessence. The Quintessence.
