It’s a safe place, far better than the outside world.Unless you’re a Trove.The curse runs in Nyro’s family. His father was a Trove and his willful eight-year-old brother, Timotei, is one too. Their blood can make a vampire … Timotei, is one too. Their blood can make a vampire powerful enough to walk in sunlight.
Nyro works hard to keep him safe. He promised his now-dead parents he wouldn’t let the vampires find him. But when Timotei is captured by a member of the Black Court, Nyro joins the King’s ranks in hopes of protecting his brother from within. There, he finds himself in a world of intrigue and machinations that promises to steal more than his family.

His soul.

HOOOOLD onto your book pages folks!!! It’s book 2 & it keeps getting better & better.!!!
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! Happy Reading !!
so I was totally in love with this series the minute I heard the connection between Bianca and Nyro! But the fact that the second book is Nyros POV makes me love this series even more not to mention him even more. I am dying to read the third book after that cliffhanger. Amazingly written!
This is a gripping series with creative world building, intense scenes, lots of intrigue, and well-developed characters. The second book is even more intense than the first! Black Pawn is from Nyro’s point of view. His story is even more devastating than Bianca’s. When Nyro’s little brother gets taken, all is lost, but don’t tell Nyro that. He doesn’t let the impossible stop him and he isn’t willing to leave his little brother in the clutches of a blood thirsty king. He’ll do whatever it takes to rescue him. But then the unthinkable happens. Now what will Nyro do? Find out in Black Rook!
I received an eARC and this is my honest and voluntary review.
This is just fantastic! An amazing vampire world built by this author with fantastic characters and an intriguing and interesting storyline and I just love Bianca. Hooked from the first chapter this is filled with danger, suspense and twists and turns and once finished you will definitely want the next instalment!
This is another version of the White Pawn but from the POV of Nyro whom Bianca met in the market place catching him stealing. However, from Nyro’s POV we understand his motivations were totally selfless. His parents were dead and he was left to raise his little brother with little if not no opportunity for income, and most days, with hardly any food to eat. Also, his brother, Timotei, was always into mischief and did not listen to Nyro’s admonitions. Consequently, Timotei was caught by an unforgiving Black Rook and taken to Black King Maximus’s palace, there to be used as blood food for the vampire king. At this time, Nyro invoked his right to join the black king’s board in hopes of eventually freeing his brother and fleeing the city. One thing I liked about this book was there was no need to understand the game of chess to know what was happening. I am totally clueless as to how to play chess. I do love the characters in this series and there is great potential for romance between Nyro and Bianca. My heart went out to little Timotei and Nyro. I appreciated Nyro’s love and selfless care for his brother. I’m anxious to read the rest of the series to find out how the stories of these characters pan out. I highly recommend reading it. I know you will like it just as much as I do. Ingrid Seymour does a great job of writing this.
This story had me falling in love with Nyro. I love this series .. the realistic scenes and the intrigue keeps you hanging on every word.
