19 parts Ongoing She was light. He was shadow. And neither of them wanted to work together.
Callie Wren was raised to hate vampires. She was taught they were ruthless, manipulative, and would stab you in the back the moment it suited them. Vampires and daywalkers had lived in uneasy separation for years, and she never questioned why.
So when she's forced into a high-stakes alliance with a vampire, she's furious. And not just any vampire, Victor. Sarcastic, manipulative, and entirely too smug for his own good. With his sharp eyes and sharper tongue, he's everything she's been warned about.
They were polar opposites.
From their eye color to the way they spoke- to the way they saw the world.
She led with emotion. He buried his.
She believed in truth. He believed in strategy.
She wanted peace. He didn't believe it existed.
But as they navigate the shadows together, Callie starts to see cracks in everything she thought she knew. And when she uncovers that the stories she grew up believing, the ones that fueled her hatred-were based on twisted rumors and carefully planted lies... everything changes.
Now she doesn't know what scares her more: the truth she never saw coming, or the vampire she's starting to fall for.
Because sometimes the real enemy isn't who you were told to hate...
It's the fear that kept you apart.
