Celeste Lancaster never believed in family curses-until she stepped foot in the mansion that changed everything.
Drawn to the dilapidated Lancaster estate, Celeste uncovers a past that has been buried for centuries. Two brothers, each with their own dark secrets, stand in her way: Sebastian, the brooding protector, and Dante, the charming enigma whose presence stirs something she doesn't fully understand. But the mansion holds more than just family history-it's alive with dangers, and the deeper Celeste digs, the more she realizes her bloodline is tied to a curse that might be impossible to escape.
As forbidden desires flare and dark truths unravel, Celeste is forced to confront a choice: embrace her heritage, or run from the darkness that threatens to consume everything she loves.
In a place where the past never stays buried, will Celeste survive the truth?
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
