Between Blood and Bond A novel by Citrine Vale Between Blood and Bond is a dark, emotionally charged supernatural romance about power, consent, and choosing yourself in a world built to own you. Sable van der Veen was born into wealth and expectation—but her entire world was rewritten in 1922 when her abusive fiancé died and a vampire named Beaufort Duval offered her a way out. Turned against her will and bound to her creator by blood, Sable has spent a century trapped in a bond that feels more like a cage than salvation. Now, she returns to New England, hoping to disappear into anonymity. But when she crosses paths with Logan Thorpe, a werewolf heir raised to lead, everything changes. Their connection is instant. Their bond, undeniable. But when a werewolf imprints, it’s forever—and Sable already belongs to someone else. As she grapples with the dangerous pull between her and Logan, the looming threat of Beaufort resurfaces. Sable must face not only her past, but the fear that intimacy might cost her the freedom she’s only just begun to fight for. Between Blood and Bond is a dark and emotionally charged supernatural love story—of tangled desire, bonds that heal and haunt, and the quiet, brutal act of choosing someone after choosing yourself.
