A princess is what her people see, a sweet, innocent, weak girl. What they don't know is, there is a secret she is hiding from everyone. Trained young, she learned to fight and kill to protect herself and her kingdom, under her Fathers orders. Annalise, the last daughter of King Charles of England, is finally 18. The peace treaty between the two vampire clans, pyros and syphos, says she is to be married to Spains future King, Prince Vincent of the pyros clan, or there will be another war declared between them. Annalise has a task to do and it's very simple, kill the future King of Spain for the good of her people. She is leaving behind another secret, hidden from all eyes. Will she let her heart pull her in two directions, will she run from duty and run away with the enemy or will she succeed in bringing down a powerful vampire marked for death?
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
