In 2010, 23-year-old Edith Reese finds herself struggling to survive in a world overturned by a devastating plague. Vampires now dominate, hunting the last humans for blood as humanity teeters on the edge of extinction. After a brutal accident steals her memories, Edith is taken in by Bromley Marks Pharmaceuticals, where human blood is hoarded, not for survival but as a commodity.
Now, Edith is placed under house arrest in the home of Dr. Edward Dalton, a vampire scientist with a serene demeanor hiding depths of unspoken desire. As she grapples with memory loss, Edward keeps the truth from her-that the world outside is ruled by vampires, and her future has been decided in a dark agreement she knows nothing about. Their chemistry is undeniable, and as their attraction deepens, Edward's protective instincts clash with the shadow of betrayal looming over them.
With Edith's 30th birthday approaching in 2017, the haunting reality of Edward's pact with his superior, Charles Bromley, grows impossible to ignore. As her blood becomes a coveted asset, Edith must confront a chilling choice: to hold onto her humanity or embrace the darkness she fears. Entwined in a forbidden romance, and surrounded by the seductive threat of the vampire world, Edith faces a fateful decision that will define her future-if she can survive long enough to make it.
