Power came with a price.
And in their kingdom, the price was paid in blood.

Princess Katherine was raised among an aristocracy that prolonged their lives through the blood of Feeders - ordinary people condemned to serve the powerful. As the daughter of the ruling bloodline, she possesses a rare gift tied to life and death, yet she never wished to become part of the cruelty of her world.

But her fate was never hers to choose.

When she is forced to marry Orion, a terrifying king capable of manipulating emotions, she becomes a pawn in a deadly political game. Orion can awaken fear, desire, and obedience with nothing more than a touch of the mind - and Katherine soon discovers that the greatest danger is not his power, but how easily he makes her question herself.

Yet in a world where blood means power, a revolution is rising beneath the surface.

And Katherine may hold something far more dangerous than the throne itself.
