Star Touched: Vampire Bride Books in Order

Star Touched: Vampire Bride is an urban romantasy that reimagines the bones of the Hades and Persephone myth in modern Manhattan. Amber Benson is nineteen, grieving, and drifting, with no clear idea what she wants from college or life. When she unexpectedly inherits a tiny basement apartment from a grandmother she never knew, she jumps at the chance to start over in the city.

Her fresh start implodes during a late‑night subway ride. Demonic creatures attack, and Amber discovers she can defend herself with raw sun magic she didn’t know she possessed. Before she can process what’s happening, a warrior with inhuman grace intervenes, saves her life, and then kidnaps her.

That so‑called savior is Damien Fairmont, the magnetic king of a hidden vampire kingdom built in the shadows of Manhattan. To protect his people from rising supernatural threats, he declares to the entire court that Amber is his destined bride and their future queen. Amber, who values her freedom above almost anything, wants nothing to do with an arranged immortal marriage.

The series follows Amber as she navigates Damien’s glittering yet deadly world of vampire politics, rival clans, and ancient bargains. Her sun‑blessed magic makes her both a weapon and a target, especially as shadow‑based forces move to claim the city for themselves. A demonic Shadow Lord stalks her dreams, offering power and understanding that Damien refuses to share.

Each book raises the stakes: poisoned magic that turns Amber into a beacon for darkness, a quest for the Solar Scepter forged by a sun goddess, and a binding spell that traps her inside the borders of Damien’s realm unless she accepts a crown she never asked for. Along the way, she has to figure out who to trust when both the vampire king who abducted her and the villain haunting her mind insist they’re the only ones who see her true potential.

The tone is fast, romantic, and cinematic, with sweeping battles in city streets, intimate palace scenes, and a heroine caught between light and shadow. Expect forced proximity, reluctant royalty, and a love story that has to fight through manipulation, secrets, and very real external threats to earn its happy ending.

Readers who like vampire courts, morally gray love interests, and heroines whose power grows alongside their sense of self will find a lot to sink their teeth into here.
