In a world of pureblood vampires and ancient legacies, Akumi Hio, born as Akumi Kuran, carries the weight of a cursed bloodline. The daughter of the treacherous Rido Kuran and the imprisoned Shizuka Hio, Akumi's life has been shaped by tragedy, betrayal, and manipulation. After her father's attempted coup that led to the murder of her uncle, Haruka Kuran, the Vampire Council strips Akumi of her right to lead the Kuran family, choosing her cousin Kaname instead. Burdened by her family's dark history and the council's distrust, Akumi renounces the Kuran name to become the heir of the Hio Clan. However, this is only the beginning of her path. Bound by an arranged engagement to Kaname and tasked with the impossible, to kill her own father, Akumi navigates a world of blood ties, deceit, and power struggles. In a fragile alliance with Kaname, Akumi must confront her past, survive the looming threat of her father's return, and fulfill her destiny to bring an end to the man who destroyed her life. In this twisted world of duty, hierarchy, and unspoken desires, Akumi seeks not redemption, but freedom from the chains of her blood.
