After the great revelation exposed the truth about supernatural beings-vampires, shapeshifters, witches, and beastkins-humanity was forced to coexist with creatures once thought to be legend. To keep the world from spiraling into chaos, new laws were forged to protect the fragile balance between the ordinary and the otherworldly. But balance is a lie. Hestidiene Aerin Edevann has always lived on the edges of this uneasy peace, a human girl in a city crawling with monsters. Yet something about her draws the supernatural to her like a magnet-dangerously curious, unsettlingly drawn, obsessively compelled. What begins as mere attraction soon becomes obsession. And obsession... turns deadly. Unbeknownst to her, Hestidiene's blood holds an ancient, forgotten power-one that could tip the scales between war and peace, creation and destruction. As alliances crumble and darkness rises, Hestidiene must uncover who she really is-and what she's meant to become-before her fate is sealed by the very blood that makes her desirable. Because in a world like this, being special isn't a gift. It's a fatality.
