Vampire Union 1: Subjugated
by Kit Tunstall
After WWIII, society was in shambles. For thousands of years, vampires had lived in hiding, fearing extinction from humans. They took advantage of the collapse of society to step into the light, seize power, and rule over the human race. The vampire overlords have herded humans into Quarantine Zones in their various provinces, where they are subjected to the vampires’ every whim…
Nadya is finally old enough to be included in the group of young women offered up to the vampires as tribute for their “generosity” to the humans. Unlike most of the girls, she wants to be chosen as a tribute and is thrilled when the vampire lord of N’work takes her. She is tired of living hard-scrabble in the Q, but more than anything she wants to belong to Jalen DuMond. Being at his mercy excites the darkest places in her soul and fuels her secret fantasies.
Jalen expects his newest tribute to be just another diversion, but she isn’t. Nadya challenges him in a way no submissive ever has, evoking emotions he can’t allow himself to feel for a human. He is betrothed to the daughter of another powerful vampire family, embroiled in a fierce war with Rem, his most hated enemy, and caught between the duties of a vampire ruler and the yearnings of his heart.
Two vampire lords with vastly different ideals fight over territory, their ways of life, and much more. At the center is one human woman, torn between the two.
After locking eyes with the son of the vampire overlord as a child, Nadya becomes obsessed with the man, knowing instinctively that he is to be part of her future. When she becomes of age and is old enough to be offered as a tribute to the vampire master — now the son — she goes against her grandmother’s wishes and fails to hide. Standing tall in the line of young offerings, Nadya challenges Jalen by looking into his eyes instead of cowering in deference to his superiority.

And if you are one of them then the viagra from usa can be the-the solution of all your bad habits which means you need to stop having tobacco, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. Her boldness angers him yet intrigues him, and he selects her — and only her — as his human tribute.
The differences between the two keep the drama at a high level and the pace of the story moving. Jalen has familial responsibilities and the expectations of his clan to be a forceful leader. Being involved in a relationship with a human does not fit into his role, but that fact can’t control his heart or his growing affection toward Nadya. His inner struggle is unmistakable as he battles between what he wants and what he must do for the good of his people.
Nadya is in love with Jalen but her life is in constant turmoil. Knowing she belongs with Jalen but also recognizing Jalen’s obligations to his people, she tries to cope with the uncertainty of her situation. The push and pull between the two as well as the sexual tension maintains the excitement throughout. The love scenes are steamy and not overdone. The BDSM elements in this story are very subdued — they are more often expressed in thought rather than overt activities.
“Subjugated” is part one of the Vampire Union series, and it is a continuing story, so the end is a cliffhanger. There are a couple of significant plot turns toward the end that had me begging for more. Part two is available, I am happy to report, and I will be reviewing it shortly. If this sounds intriguing, be sure to pick up part two – you won’t want to stop at part one.
