Vampire • Fae • Florence Italy • Dark Romantasy

One Hero Is a Master Vampire. The Other Is a Summer Fae Prince. She Has Forbidden Power That Both Courts Want to Control.

DARK FAE MASTERS OF ITALY

VAMPIRE FAE ROMANTASY • COMPLETE 5-BOOK SERIES

Most fantasy romance picks a lane: vampires or fae. The world-building logic of each is different enough that combining them requires real structural commitment — different courts, different power systems, different obligations, different politics. Dark Fae Masters of Italy doesn’t treat the combination as a surface aesthetic. It builds both fully.

Quinn is a Master Vampire — the Barone, ruling a Vampire Court in Florence, operating within a Vampire Council of Rome that becomes the primary antagonist by Book 4. His world is dark, political, centuries-old. Lucca is the Prince of the Summer Fae Court — golden, tied to a King who wants to use Ariana’s power for his own ends, eventually leading a rebellion against his father’s authority. Two complete supernatural power structures, each with their own court politics, both colliding around one heroine.

Ariana is a Dark Fae who grew up believing she was human — until an uncontrolled burst of forbidden power tears a rift in space and drops her into the Twilight Realm, the birthplace of the Fae. Her Night Magic (dark fae power) is alluring and dangerous to both the Vampire Court and the Fae Court simultaneously. She doesn’t fit neatly into either power structure, which is precisely why both want to control her. The series is set in Florence, Italy — opulent, historically layered, the most visually rich setting in the Ava Ward portfolio.

VAMPIRE + FAE WORLD FAQ

Does the series commit equally to both vampire and fae world-building?
Yes. Quinn’s Vampire Court in Florence, the Vampire Council of Rome, Lucca’s Summer Fae Court, the Dark Winter Fae, the rebel faction Lucca leads — both supernatural power structures are fully realized across the five books.

Is the setting significant, or just a backdrop?
Florence and the Twilight Realm do real structural work. The Dark Haven Quinn controls is in Florence. The fae portal world is directly adjacent to ours, giving the series a “modern world with magical overlay” quality. The Italian setting — its architecture, its decadence, its history — is woven through the prose.

Why does both courts want to control the heroine?
Ariana’s Dark Fae Night Magic is rare and powerful enough to return ancient Vampire Revenants to their sanity — which would reshape the supernatural power balance in both courts. She’s a political and magical resource both sides want. Her power makes her dangerous and makes her a target.
