Cry of Fangs by Kailey Alessi

For years, the vampire nations of Lucia and Torin have lived in an uneasy peace. That all changed when Lucia annexed the independent city-state of Cesvic. Now, war is looming on the horizon and no one is safe. A Slave Far away in the Lucian capital, Hayden is the human blood bag of the youngest Lucian prince. And a pawn in a political game of chess that might bring the nation to its knees. A Monk Mora, in Cesvic, is worried. She serves as a Monk of the Goddess of Humans, and the Lucians have declared her faith dangerous and heretical. It will take all her wits and courage to keep the humans in her care safe. A Soldier In Torin, Aldon is a cadet at the military academy. One who most definitely does not want to be there. He will have to find his strength if he is to survive both the school and the battlefield.
