鶹
Former princess Celandine is plotting to bring down the men who stole her throne. She needs help from someone even more dangerous: the immortal who battled her ancestors. With his fangs and dark magic, he can destroy her present-day enemies, and then she'll double cross the ancient creature to complete her victory. But when she wakes him with a drink of her blood, his bite ignites desire in her that could bring her careful plan crashing down.
Troi wakes to find that everyone he once loved is gone. With nothing left to live for but vengeance, he agrees to help Celandine infiltrate the summer solstice ball by posing as her husband. He knows he can't trust the scheming descendant of his sworn enemies, and yet the taste of her blood makes him feel like she's really his.
Can he tempt her to abandon her devious plot, or will her betrayal destroy them both?
Blood Slumber is a romantasy with an HEA for fans of spicy, enemies-to-lovers romance and fanged twists on fairy tales. This standalone novella is set in the epic fantasy world of the Best of #BookTok 鶹 top 15 bestseller Blood Mercy.

About the author

Vela Roth manifested unstable writing powers at a young age, and many of her early experiments had unintended results. As she grew, a curriculum of fantasy novels with strong heroines helped her learn to wield her abilities.
Eventually she dared pursue the knowledge inside the most forbidden tomes: romance novels. She’s been practicing the dark arts of fantasy romance ever since, but strives to use her noveling powers only for good.
She lives in a solar-powered writer’s garret at the foot of the mountains with her familiar, a rescue cat with a missing fang and a huge heart.
Vela loves hearing from readers and hopes you’ll connect with her at @velarothauthor on social.

- Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2025He who slumbers for a century will wake with an ancient appetite…
She who was silenced will spin more than broken tales from a stolen victory…
In this fanged twist on a beloved fairy tale that is held within the gentle touch of a Hesperine’s love, Troi and Celandine unite under the name of Vengeance to form a dangerous liaison that will either challenge their enemies or destroy them both.
Blood Slumber was an absolutely enchanting novella about two hungry souls stolen from their lives who return to reclaim broken legacies but find in their vengeance that those tethered together for the sake of revenge may be bound by something greater and infinitely more terrifying.
In this stunning addition to the Blood Grace world, enchantments are slyly spun to weave a tale about devoted reclamation and the love that is found when certain spells are cast and left to be undone. Another gorgeous work from Vela Roth, this novella stands as both the perfect compliment to the immersive world of BG while also standing independent in the love story that is so completely and charmingly gifted to readers!
Vela Roth is incapable of delivering anything but a beautiful work of literature, and this newest novella stands as a perfect testament to her ability to create so much magic in just over 100 pages. I have already reread this novella and will begin a third read of it as soon as this review is posted ✌🏼
- Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2025I really enjoyed this short and sweet novella inspired by sleeping beauty with the roles reversed. It was quick and to the point so the plot moved along swiftly leaving no room for dull moments.
Celandine is a princess whose kingdom was stolen from her by the man who betrayed her whom she seeks vengeance on in this novella. She needs the help of a Hesperine who has been cursed to sleep for a hundred years and so she forms a plan to infiltrate his guarded home to wake him so they can work together to take down a mutual enemy. However, they both come from family lines they are also enemies, throwing in some enemies-to-lovers tension that kept me hooked.
Though a short read I couldn’t help but enjoy both Celandine and Troi, as well as their interactions with one another which were both spicy and sweet. It’s easy to fly through this read in one sitting because it throws you into the story immediately and things move along so fast that putting it down is not an option.
I really enjoyed this short story in the Hesperine world, and also enjoyed the appearance of a familiar face which was a pleasant surprise. I definitely recommend this novella for Blood Grace fans and newbies alike!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sleeping Beauty with a enemies to lovers twist
Verified PurchaseI received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This was a wonderful novella! I have enjoyed everything that expands the Blood Grace universe that series takes place in. I did like the spin of sleeping beauty that Vela put on the story. This novella was has been by far the most interesting one so far because our FMC is apart of the mage orders. Celandine and Troi have endured a lot. Celandine from being betrayed and put into the Mage Orders where the women weren’t well at all and will backstab each other just to get in a better placement. Troi waking up a hundred years where everyone he loved are gone and dealing with some regrets from his human life. The tension between these two was delightful because the enemies to lovers due to their bloodlines to them eventually opening up to each other and realizing that they can rely on each other for support while achieving their revenge.
This is a fast pace book due to it being a novella but it’s the best to devour in one day.
I think this is a food place to start your journey into the Blood Grace universe if tackling the main series is daunting or revisiting the world under a different couple while we wait for the next installment in the series. I highly recommend reading this.
