The Vessel Trilogy was published entirely in 2015, with all three books (Forged in Fire, Sealed in Sin, and Bound in Black) released that year. The series sits in the same dark paranormal universe as Juliette Cross’s Dominion series, and the central conflict involves “vessels,” humans chosen to carry or contain supernatural entities.

The trilogy format gives the story a clear beginning, middle, and end, and the rapid publication of all three books in the same year means readers who start the series can finish it quickly. Cross’s style in 2015 was still in its darker, mythology-heavy phase, so this feels closer to gothic paranormal romance than the warmth-forward stories she would write in the 2020s.
