AUTHORS NOTE

This novella is the first book in The Sovereignty Series, a series of interconnected stories created by short_flame (Flame). 

In short, Sovereignty is a loosely based mixture between Vampires and ABO (and a few other things), so keep that in mind as you read. There will be a chapter at the end of the book to explain the universe/rules/structure of Sovereignty if you would like to look over it before you read to get a better grasp of the creatures of this book series before you explore it. 

Glad you are here to join me in this journey, 

Thank you for reading!
