Bloodseeker: The Pale Ones

Eira Vale has always been treated like something fragile.
Handled gently. Watched closely. Protected at all costs.

No one touches her without permission. No one raises their voice around her. And when she turns pale, when her breath falters, she is taken home-no questions asked.

Calix Ardent doesn't understand the rules.

Rich, reckless, and used to taking up space, Calix is drawn to the one girl who recoils from his presence. What begins as irritation turns into fixation as he's forced to learn restraint, patience, and reverence-because with Eira, wanting is dangerous.

As storms close in and secrets surface, Calix discovers the truth everyone else has been hiding: Eira isn't weak.

She's starving.

And the cost of surviving may be far darker than anyone is prepared to face.
