When nineteen-year-old Susanna leaves England to marry a wealthy French nobleman she's never met, she expects duty—not love—to shape her future. But her journey across the sea is violently interrupted by a pirate attack unlike any whispered about in taverns and ports.
Their captain is William.
Beautiful. Immortal. Cursed.
A half-vampire who has spent centuries sailing the seas beneath the cover of darkness, William survives by taking blood from those unfortunate enough to cross his path. He has long accepted that monsters do not deserve happiness... until one frightened young woman awakens something inside him he believed was lost forever.
As William fights the hunger that defines his existence, Susanna finds herself torn between two impossible futures: the safety of the life she promised to another man, or the dangerous pull of the mysterious pirate who can never walk in daylight.
But William's greatest enemy isn't his thirst for blood.
It's the belief that no one could ever choose the night over the day.
Set against the backdrop of haunted castles, storm-tossed seas, hidden pirate treasures, and forbidden passion, William the Damned is the unforgettable beginning of A Vampire Pirate Saga—a sweeping gothic fantasy romance about love, sacrifice, and the price of immortality.
