Description
Cursed with power. Damned by Fate. Drowning in the dark.
I used to dream of a way out, of another life.
That was before the threads of Fate wound through my soul, revealing the unfathomable potential writhing in my veins. Now, the demons stalking me from the shadows, eager for a taste of my power, whisper the same truth that echoes from this new abyss: every choice has a price. And this game demands I pay in blood.
When memories and monsters begin haunting the sacred night, chasing me along the knife-edge of oblivion, not even the tangled web of lust and loathing can save me from falling into the depths of my darkest dreams. But sleep is no escape, only a nest to breed more nightmares.
And everything I’ve done to survive is no longer enough.
So I run back to the devil I know.
I should have known better than to think they’d ever let me leave:
The Ignis demon, whose obsession burns hotter than the Hellfire beneath his skin.
The last Leviathan, raging to stain the seas with pain and ichor.
The gargoyle watching from the shadows, waiting for me to blink.
The werewolf keeping secrets that threaten to ruin us both.
The dragon prince with nothing left to lose.
The vampire consumed by insatiable thirst for retribution.
My monsters.
My villains.
My soulmates.

Advance Praise
"Dark academia, paranormal romance, why choose writing AT IT'S VERY FINEST. If you are a fan of any of those categories, you have zero excuse at this point not to have started this series. Midnight Bane is full of cackle inducing banter, swoon worthy steamy scenes, groveling, tense plot twists, and gasp causing OH MY GOSH WHAT IS HAPPENING moments. You'll throw your book, you'll call your friends, you'll highlight entire pages, and you'll still be left with wanting more." -ARC reviewer
"The story building, the banter, the angst, the growth of all the characters and the twists! Not too much spice, but the spice that was there was 🤌🏻. I'm actually sad I read it so quickly because now I have to wait again! One of, if not my top book of the year." -ARC reviewer
"If you’re looking for a paranormal academy bully romance RH, an addictive storyline, and an absolute BANGER of a time, you need to pick this up! SO well written! I had SO MUCH FUN reading it, and it went by so fast! This is exactly the kind of series that reminds me why I love reading." -ARC reviewer
"If you are looking for 1 sentence to push you into reading this series, let this be it: Amongst my top anticipated reads for the last 1/4 of the year, this sequel placed in my top 2 ( and no, the new ACOTAR book is not the other contender - I put off reading that in favour of Midnight Bane)." -ARC reviewer
"I have no idea how book two, Midnight Bane, of Blood Will Reign got even better than book one, Sacred Night, but it really did! Midnight Bane is the perfect dark academia, paranormal romance and reverse harem book with amazing and intense spicy tension and some of hottest book boyfriends." -ARC reviewer
"This was incredible and Zara just proves she has an amazing mind that breaks things, puts it together, throws in new stuff, and still somehow manages to make a full piece. No cracks." -ARC reviewer
"I expected this to be 5 ⭐️ and it still exceeded my expectations, god tier series! I may have been a bit weepy by the end of the book. It took on such a strong first book and built up the tension, the banter, the relationships, and the threats even further." -ARC reviewer
