"Get. Away. From me." I warned. He blinked, and a slow smile formed its way onto his face. I clenched my fists, fighting the urge to brush a stray lock of midnight black hair from his forehead; he looked positively angelic when he smiled.

Sebastian Rockefeller is Lake Village's newest vampire. Lake Village banned the turning of humans 100 years ago; Sebastian has taken residence there and for the past 100 years, treated humans as cattle. No army is strong enough to overthrow him, and no other vampire dares to set foot in his territory. Despite the danger, humans flock around him in hopes of becoming immune to the march of time, and every year he hosts a ball to give them the chance to catch his interest, yet he has never taken it seriously.
Now, Sebastian is tired of ruling alone.
