A baby? On a battlefield?

Marcus is a clerk in the Imperial army. When he finds an abandoned baby on a battlefield, he has no idea what to do with her. His best friend is no help; he thinks Marcus is a sucker for taking the kid in. The slave who ends up babysitting the child is no better; she thinks Marcus has ulterior motives - bad ones. Not only that, but two mysterious female assassins appear on the scene. Whether they intend to harm the baby or protect her, Marcus isn't sure. It doesn't help that the assassins have magical cloaks that allow them to turn into birds at any time. Marcus and his friends soon find themselves caught up in things they doesn't understand: the child has some connection to an ancient prophecy, one that could have implications for fate of the Empire itself.

CRIMSON REIGN: KISS ME, KILL ME by REESmotee
11 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world where vampires didn't rise in secret, but were unleashed by human hands in the aftermath of genetic warfare, blood is currency, power is eternal, and lies bleed just as easily as throats. A century after the Hemogenic Accord - the global treaty that legalized vampire existence in exchange for regulated feeding and shared governance - the world teeters on a fragile coexistence. Vampires rule cities like syndicates, blending royalty with corporate might. Humans either align, serve, or rebel - often switching sides before sunrise. The line between prey and predator is thin, and very, very negotiable. At the heart of this fractured peace stands Prince Est, a volatile young vampire of noble blood, born in the first wave of post-war breeding labs - powerful, charming, and devastatingly brutal. He's barely a century old, but carries the madness of immortality like a well-tailored coat. William , an enigma in human skin. Older than he lets on, sharper than anyone suspects, and a master of deception with a bloodline wiped from records for reasons unknown. Est has survived vampire politics, assassination attempts, and multiple ex-boyfriends with fangs. Now, he scams vampires for a living - until his path collides (violently) with William's. But William isn't just a human. And Est isn't just a prince. As ancient secrets awaken and desire burns between blade and bite, they're forced into a twisted alliance - one part seduction, two parts vengeance, and zero parts sanity. And in this world, love isn't just dangerous. It's carnivorous.
