A Silence of Shadows by Annie Anderson (Whisperbound Series)
A Silence of Shadows by Annie Anderson is set in a kingdom built on deceit and blood, where secrets are as deadly as power. Merrit Locke runs Lock and Key, a neutral bar on the border of vampire court territory, hiding her telepathy and her past from everyone. Her quiet life shatters when Prince Kieran Veyne walks in, beautiful, dangerous, and far too perceptive. When an ambush exposes her abilities, Kieran mistakes her for a rare seer and pulls her into his world of intrigue and manipulation.
To protect her, Kieran makes Merrit part of his court and pretends she is his lover. Forced to play along, she must survive in a palace ruled by monsters and lies. As desire blurs with deception and ancient magic stirs, Merrit discovers that the bond between them may be far more real than either dares to admit.
