The Phoenix Prince — Kristen Gupton

Ascending to the throne after his father's death should have been easy for young Keiran Sipesh. It wasn't. Being a vampire was supposed to make him powerful. It didn't. There are those who would do anything to prevent a vampire from coming to power. One such man is Grand Councilor Peirte Methaius. This demon summoner seeks to seize the crown for his own. He cannot fathom a vampire gaining control of the country, especially one that has taken an interest in a woman of peasant birth. In their world, a vampire has never been a hero. Can Keiran survive and manage to become one, or will his death only be the beginning of Peirte's madness?
