Good night, my darklings. 🖤
This week has been emotionally challenging—not just for me, but I sense for many of us. The world feels heavier lately, doesn't it? Days like these remind me exactly why stories matter. Why creating new realities that serve as refuge isn't just what I do—it's what we all need.
No matter what challenges you're facing tonight, remember: you're never alone. The doors to Deveraux Manor are always open. Draken Manor's fires burn eternal. Gavriil and Luciana's home welcomes you. Even Ivan Lockhart's lair offers sanctuary to those who understand that darkness isn't something to fear—it's where we find our truest selves.

Blood of the Ancient is coming, darklings. Are you ready to return to where it all began? Venice is waiting. And I think Rohan Kahn says it best:
"You don't have to hold yourself together. That's what friends are for. What family is for. We're your people, Ivan. Your coven. Your family. And families don't let each other face apocalypses alone."

Until tomorrow, may you find peace in the shadows.
With love,
Silvana.🖤

ATTENTION, DARKLING COVEN 🕯️
YouTube has unleashed something dangerous... Voice replies.
Which means my characters are no longer confined to the page. They're listening. They're watching. And they might just respond.

Want Ivan to acknowledge your devotion? Dristan to claim you? Gavriil to notice you?
👉 Leave a comment on your favorite audiobook. 👉 Make it good. 👉 Make it worth their attention.

They're waiting... 🖤

Ivan's already claimed his first victim (check the comments on Written in Blood if you don't believe me).

Fair warning: they're very selective about who they engage with... 😏🖤
Go on, what are you waiting for?

With love,
Silvana.

I’m honestly a little emotional today, darklings. 🥹🖤

I wrote The Soul Thief about five years ago, and seeing it being discovered again, included in a dark romance “Blind Date with a Kindle” box, is surreal.
Stories really do have a life of their own.

Huge thank you to @pinkleopardshopco for featuring it, and to every reader for keeping this story alive.

(And yes… it happens to be on sale right now. 🔥📚)

Have you listened to this audiobook, darklings? Find Drahoslav and Raven in this channel, under the Vesely Academy series playlist. 🖤

Happy weekend!
With love,
Silvana.

My Dearest Darklings, 🖤
Today marks one more year in this mortal existence, and I find myself reflecting on how blessed I am to have such an incredible family—and you, my darklings, are very much a part of that. ✨

When I first began weaving these dark stories, I never imagined I'd find my coven, my kindred spirits. You've embraced my morally gray vampires 🧛, my fierce witches 🔮, and my tormented souls because we've been the outsiders, the misfits who've wondered where they belong, the hearts that have been told they're too much or not enough. You know the truth I write in every book: that those who stand at the edges are worthy of extraordinary love, that different doesn't mean broken, and that the deepest, most genuine hearts are often found in the most unexpected places.

You celebrate with me when Ivan claims another reader's heart, when the Deveraux witches work their magic, and when new darklings join our ranks. 📚 You've made "Written in Blood" a #1 bestseller. 🏆 You've helped us grow toward 6,000 strong on YouTube. You've welcomed me into your lives and your hearts.

The Darkling Coven isn't just a name. It's a home for beautiful souls who've found their place in the shadows 🌙, who know that being different doesn't mean being less—it means being unique, and that can only be a good thing.
So on my birthday 🎂, I want you to know how much you mean to me. You've become part of my family, and I'm grateful for every single one of you. 🙏
Thank you for walking this shadowed path with me. Thank you for being my darklings. 🖤

Here's to another year of love stories that bloom in darkness. 🌹
With all my heart,
Silvana

As the clock strikes midnight and 2025 fades into memory...
My dearest darklings,
On this last night of the year, as candles burn low and darkness deepens, my heart overflows with gratitude for each of you. You've walked beside me through blood-soaked ballrooms and moonlit libraries, through Venice's candlelit canals and ancient vampire courts. You've embraced every morally gray immortal, every forbidden romance, every impossible choice—and made them your own.
Thank you for being The Darkling Coven. Thank you for understanding that the best love stories truly are written in shadow and starlight.

As we cross into 2026, I promise you won't walk into the darkness alone. This year brings:

📿 Blood of the Ancient - Ivan's story finally revealed as old legends rise from their slumber, threatening to destroy every "impure" vampire in Europe.
🗡️ Blood of the Viking - Where a Norse warrior meets Venetian treachery in 1096 Constantinople, and the hunt for the true Holy Grail becomes a deadly dance of seduction and ancient power.
🎭 The Devil's Song - A Venetian opera singer makes a bargain with a fallen angel, only to discover that the price of fame may be her immortal soul.
💎 A Curse of Blood and Diamonds - When curses run deeper than bloodlines and redemption comes at the highest price.
📚 The Blood of Kings - The epic finale of the Vesely Academy series, where all secrets are revealed, and destinies collide.

✨ And more shadows yet to be unveiled...

The veil between our world and theirs grows thinner with each story. Are you ready?

Here's to a year of immortal romance, impossible choices, and the kind of love that transcends death itself.
May your 2026 be filled with magic, mystery, and deliciously morally gray vampires.

The best is yet to come.

Happy New Year, my Darkling Coven 🖤🗡️🌙
Silvana.

Happy New Year from The Unnatural Brethren! 🖤✨

As we close this chapter and step into 2026, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for my Darkling Coven.

Thank you for walking through the shadows with me this year. For every listen, every comment, every moment you've spent with our vampires, witches, and shifters. For making this community something truly magical.

We celebrated with A Very Supernatural Christmas.
(Haven’t listened to it yet?)
🎧🎄https://youtu.be/LbCFcHh3XuE

We watched found family choose each other despite the chaos. And soon, we'll witness what happens when ancient darkness finally breaks in Blood of the Ancient.

Here's to a new year of adventures in the shadows. Of morally gray characters finding redemption. Of love blooming in darkness. Of the Darkling Coven growing stronger.

May your 2026 be filled with magic, mayhem, and just enough fire to keep things interesting.

With wicked love and dark devotion,
Silvana 🖤

Darklings! 🖤
Happy Holidays from the shadows!
As this year draws to a close, I'm sitting here in awe of what we've built together. This coven—this community of gothic romance lovers, vampire enthusiasts, and morally gray character defenders—you've made every moment of this journey magical.
Thank you for a year of adventures. For listening to my audiobooks at 2am. For theorizing in the comments. For loving these characters as fiercely as I do. For being the Darkling Coven.

Now, I know what you've been asking for. I've read every comment and email. "Can we see them just... hanging out?" "What do they do when they're not saving the world?" "Please, just give us domestic chaos!"
Ask, and you shall receive, darklings.

Releasing December 25th: A Very Supernatural Christmas ✨
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbCFc...

A holiday special novella where:
✨Cassandra throws Christmas in May (because she can)
✨Ivan is forced into the holiday vibes
✨Dristan wears an ugly vampire sweater (yes, really)
✨Gavriil tries to make amends without dying (himself or his pride)
✨Two dragons fight for a throne over a roasted turkey
✨A toddler makes it snow when she has *feelings*

It's the domestic chaos you wanted. It's found family at its messiest. It's vampires, shifters, and witches trying not to murder each other over Secret Santa.

Releasing wide everywhere books are sold, and the audiobook drops exclusively right here on this channel—because my YouTube darklings get special treatment. Always.
December 25th. Mark your calendars.

The fire's burning. The family's gathering. And nothing is going to go according to plan.
Exactly as you like it.

With all my dark love,
Silvana 🖤🎄

Darklings, can you guess what I'm working on right now? 👀

🎭 That baroque masquerade mask isn't just for show...
🦁 A winged lion guardian watching over my chaos
📝 Handwritten plot notes sprawled everywhere
🏛️ Venice on the screen (or is it?)
☕ Iced coffee fuel (because vampires aren't the only ones who need sustenance)
💻 Multiple screens = multiple storylines colliding
📓 "The Devil Doesn't Beg, But for Me He Kneels" sticker (very on brand for our favorite antihero 😏)

🔥 Vampires burning across multiple cities
😱 Screams. So many screams.
⚔️ Ancient legends awakening

First darkling to guess correctly gets a shoutout in my next video AND eternal bragging rights! 🖤
Drop your guesses below! ⬇️

Hint: "His lips were seconds away from touching hers when she whispered, 'Alexander—' And then the screams began."

So, darklings... I read your poll answers about your favorite character from the Unnatural Brethren, and Ivan won by a landslide. He's literally grinning right now, a bit arrogant about how he predicted he'd win. And honestly? Who wouldn't love this bratty vamp? 😏

"I regret the time we lost, the years we spent apart. But this? What we have now? I would pay any price for this." 🖤

Darklings, after three centuries of separation, Ivan Lockhart and Juliette Deveraux have finally found their way back to each other. Their love story spans lifetimes—from 17th-century France to modern-day Paris, from mortal passion to immortal devotion.
In Blood and Bargains, witness the reunion that defied time itself.
Sometimes love is patient enough to wait for its moment. Sometimes, it takes centuries. But it's always worth the wait. 🌙

Haven't listened yet? Head to the channel and immerse yourself in their story—perfectly narrated to bring every whispered confession and centuries-old longing to life. 🔥🎧 https://youtu.be/iUE5Yec5ZNA

This artwork captures that final garden scene— where Ivan and Juliette stand together at twilight, witnessing the unexpected. After all the shadow bargains, the resurrection magic, and the prices paid in darkness, love has found its way to them. Blood and bargains indeed.
Click for the full image--that hand placement is looking a tad low, Ivan. 😏

🌹 What did you love most about Ivan and Juliette's reunion? Drop your thoughts below! 💜


P.S. I heard you loud and clear! Blood of the Ancient is in the works, and darklings... Ivan may have won your hearts, but wait until you see what's coming for him. Fire. Ancient enemies. And consequences that even three centuries of experience won't prepare him for. 🔥
