After two decades away, Lilith returns to Blackthorn beneath an autumn sky heavy with memory and rot. The cobbled streets have not changed. The estate at the edge of town still waits for her like a grave that never closed.
But something about Blackthorn had always called her back.
Perhaps it was nostalgia.
Perhaps it was unfinished business.
Or perhaps it was simply boredom.
Her return awakens more than memories.
Bodies begin to surface drained, throats torn open, fear spreading through the town like wildfire. Whispers of monsters slip from trembling lips, and Lilith does nothing to silence them. She has never been good at pretending to be human.

When Dorian a vampire hunter forged by loss and trained to destroy creatures like her, starts working on the case, fate sets predator and hunter on a collision course neither of them expect. What begins as suspicion ignites into something far more dangerous: a slow-burning pull neither blade nor hunger can sever.
Because when Dorian finally learns the truth, when he sees the blood on her lips and calls her what she truly is a
"Monster."
his hand trembles around the weapon meant to end her.
She gives him the chance.
He cannot take it.
Love is a weakness. Hunger is a curse. And the sweetest kiss may be the deadliest of all.
