Blood and Melody
He had lived for centuries in the shadows, feeding on humanity's vitality-but he had never met anyone like her. To be close to humans without revealing his true nature, he became a singer, captivating audiences with his voice and charm. Four years of fame and countless admirers had left him untouched... until the night he saw her. Her presence lit something long dormant within him: a feeling he had never allowed himself to know. But fate was cruel. Bound by family expectations, she faced an arranged marriage she could not escape. Despair swallowed her whole, and in a moment of hopelessness, she took her own life. He could not let her die. With forbidden power, he brought her back-but she would never be the same. Now immortal, she must navigate the darkness of her new existence while the bond between them grows stronger, deeper, and dangerously consuming. In a world of blood, fame, and secrets, love is both their salvation... and their curse.Complete
