The Warrior of Monterum
Garissa, a bounty hunter, is sent to a vampire kingdom to steal a powerful relic; but a single mistake turns her into a prisoner, and she watches the freedom she cherishes slip through her fingers. Now, held captive by a vampire king in an unfamiliar realm, she must make a difficult choice—one that will completely change her future. That is if she even has one.
Sagni, an ancient vampire king who used to have everything and everyone bow before him, finds himself strangely drawn to the strong-willed prisoner who dared to steal from him. He wonders whether he should confront her defiance and refusal to submit, exploring the curiosity she awakens in him, or end the situation once and for all.
He didn’t know what to do when the huntress stared at him with defiance. He didn’t know what to do when her rebellion seemed to pull him in. What the king did know was that this woman was unlike anyone he had ever met, and keeping her close might just prove to be an entertaining challenge.
"How much time do you need to register a moment in your mind and paint it?
— In a wink.
"Good, because that's all you'll get," he said.
Sagni explained to the man exactly what he wanted him to paint and then he looked at Garissa, waiting until she saw him and motioning for her to come to him.
Garissa took a deep breath when she realized the king was calling her and walked towards him as normally as possible. When she was relatively close, he caught her by surprise around the waist and pulled her towards him.
Sagni was in front of the painter, and with his right arm he reached Garissa's waist and pulled her to him, lying to the side with his body, and as he pulled her by surprise, she ended up holding on to his shoulder. He turned his head toward her, making their eyes meet in a deep gaze.
For a second, Garissa was mesmerized by those intense, passionate eyes, but then she realized they were in public and turned away from him in embarrassment. There must have been a screw missing from Sagni's head!"

"Sagni, in order for us to reach her safely, you must pretend that you are not seeing or feeling anything. You must not show fear, apprehension, or distrust. The key is to remain calm," he instructed, but before continuing, he remembered a additional information.” “Oh, and you shouldn't face the water, either.
"Shouldn't I face the water?" he asked with a frown.
- Exactly! Look elsewhere, but don't stare at the water.
Garissa started paddling calmly towards her old friend's house, and smiled when she felt Sagni's eyes on her. It probably wasn't even necessary to tell him not to look at the water, he seemed too amused admiring it."
