In a world of vampires and magic, life is shaped by blood and desire. For a survivor like Elaire, however, the world is run by desperation and power. Like everyone else, Elaire is a vampire- a long-lived creature who feed off of blood. But unlike everyone, Elaire is a mage- a vampire gifted with magic. She survived the fire that destroyed her home and she lived despite having been thrown to the wolves. After everything she went through, she's left with one reason to continue: Misa, the daughter of her family's helper who she saved from the fire. They have become sisters not by blood but by tragedy, and because of this, Elaire's life revolved around raising Misa, who turned out to be a mage just like her. It has been years and Elaire must work harder to support Misa's dream of studying at Academia, the school for mages in the kingdom of Irvina. At the same time, her life takes another turn, either for better or for worse, as she is offered to work at the palace where she believes the walls stand too high. Scarred by flames and tainted by wolves, Elaire must survive the lion's den, where blood is spilled the most. DISCLAIMER: This book is written in TagLish (Filipino-English).

Kahit hindi mo siya makausap o makasama, inspired na inspired ka. That was the case for Dawn Karsen Navarro, a die-hard fan of a prominent singer and songwriter, Dior Kobe Gallardo. Kahit pa laging General Admission ticket lang ang nabibili niya at halos kasinlaki lang ng gagamba ang natatanaw niya mula sa upuan, marinig niya lang ang boses ng binata, kuntento na siya. So, when luck pulled a trick on her poor heart, she didn't hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity.

She had made a lot of progress. But, why did she go back to being seated in the farthest row? Why did she go back to being just a mere fan? After everything they vowed, why did she go back to being a stranger in the midst of the crowd?
