In the year 2050, it was declared that the world has officially met its end. Pollution, deforestation, destruction had brought a population to its knees. Cities were desolate, oceans were swimming in oil, people were dying. In one final desperate attempt to save the remainder of the people, a central world government was elected. And project BK13 was rolled out across the world. A simple injection that places a microchip under the skin of every single person in the world. The chip monitors productivity, energy output, activity and everything the government needs to save the planet. Except it all goes horribly wrong. Every single recipient of the microchip is marked with a brand etched onto their skin. A brand that highlights there strengths, but more importantly their weaknesses and fears. There is no hiding once you have been marked. And yet, not everyone has been microchipped. Elora Harrison lives amongst a band of "the unmarked". On the run, fearing for the day when she is captured.

Julia is on the run, fleeing for her life. An army of vampires ravage her country, plundering villages and enslaving their occupants. With the vampire horde closing in, Julia is forced to abandon her home and head south with the hope of reuniting with her brother. There they will build a new farm and live in safety. But one vampire lord has a different plan for her future. He tracks her down and takes her captive. No matter how hopeless her situation, she never gives up, risking her life to regain her freedom. He forces her down, punishing her when her defiant spirit hinders his mission. It soon becomes clear that she's nothing like the human soldiers he's used to dealing with. A sense a guilt begins to grow whenever he upsets the girl who both fears and leans into him for protection. Julia and the vampire lord are connected in ways they had never known. Their lives become entangled, bringing them to make decisions they would've never thought possible. Extract from Chapter 1: He unsheathes his blade, and I suddenly wish that he'd go back to poking me. He's going to cut me while I can't move? To torture me? I start to panic again. "No, no, no." I yank on the restraints, and the rope bites into my skin. I pull and pull and try to shuffle away from him. He presses the blade against my neck, and I freeze. "Fearful," he says. I catch a glimpse of his freakishly long canines. The edge of the blade presses on my skin, just enough not to draw blood.
