She was never meant to survive the sacrifice.

Chosen as an offering to an ancient vampire whose name has been whispered in fear for centuries, she expects only darkness. Instead, she is spared-claimed not as prey, but as something far more dangerous.

As the nights pass, terror gives way to fascination. Every stolen glance, every brush of his hand, every heartbeat she thought would be her last begins to feel like something else. Is she truly falling in love with the monster who should have killed her... or is her mind simply mistaking fear for desire?

In a world where blood is sacred, love is forbidden, and survival comes at a terrible price, she must unravel the truth before the line between devotion and obsession disappears forever.

Sometimes the heart is the easiest thing to deceive.
