Léandre thought immortality would mean eternity with Count Abbot. But forever shatters quickly when Abbot abandons him for another, leaving Léandre betrayed, heartbroken, and desperate for vengeance.
What begins as a plan to destroy Abbot quickly becomes something far more dangerous. As Léandre delves deeper into the coven's secrets, he discovers he isn't the first Fledgeling to suffer beneath the Count's influence, and he may not be the last. When a group of his fellow Fledgelings become caught in the centre of a growing conspiracy, Léandre finds his priorities shifting from revenge to survival, protection, and uncovering the truth.
At the same time, the Caeleste world continues pulling him deeper into its shadows. Ancient bloodlines, hidden histories, and long-buried secrets force him to confront unsettling truths, not only about Abbot, but about himself, and with every revelation, the life he thought he understood begins to unravel.
Caught between old wounds and new loyalties, Léandre finds himself still yearning for the one thing immortality failed to provideーsomeone who will choose him and stay. But as the line between victim, monster, and hero begins to blur, he is left facing a question far more terrifying than revenge: if everything he believed about himself was a lie, who is he becoming?
