Her mother, however, passed away at birth, not even having seen her precious daughters' face. Or so Victoria had been told. Now nearing the age of 18, she longed for freedom outside her father's estate, she yearned for the heat of sunlight to bathe her, to taste the salt of the ocean and hear the bustling streets of London she had read so much about.

In the end, she will need to decide for herself: will she live life as she had before? Or will the arrival of someone strangely familiar cause her to turn her back on the people closest to her heart?

Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn.

A vampires slave
Three years after the collapse of global superpowers and the rise of vampires as the dominant species, humanity has been reduced to slaves and pets. In a sprawling, nightmarish mansion ruled by The Nightshade Collective-a powerful coven of high-ranking vampires-Luke and his best friend Jake toil as human slaves, stripped of identity and hope. Each day, they navigate the brutal hierarchy of the mansion, where every misstep could lead to punishment, death, or worse. As the vampires revel in their decadence and cruelty, rumors of rebellion stir among the enslaved. Luke, pragmatic and reluctant, begins to dream of escape, fueled by his growing disgust at the inhumanity around him and the faint spark of hope ignited by a pet who yearns for freedom. Meanwhile, Jake's hatred for their captors burns brighter with each passing day, driving him to reckless and dangerous extremes. When a rare opportunity arises in the form of a stolen key, Luke, Jake, and a small group of slaves and pets seize their chance to flee. But their escape plan unleashes chaos. Luke's desperate gambit to release feral vampires-mindless, ravenous creatures kept imprisoned beneath the mansion-creates a bloody diversion that pits predator against predator. Fire spreads through the mansion as the slaves race through shadowed corridors filled with carnage and unspeakable horrors. Their journey to freedom is a brutal trial of endurance and courage. The ferals hunt them, and the vampires, though distracted, are relentless in their pursuit. As their numbers dwindle and friendships fracture, Luke must navigate the moral compromises and sacrifices necessary to survive. Outside the mansion's walls lies an even darker truth-feral-infested wastelands, human resistance groups dabbling in demonic pacts, and the looming threat of a shattered world where safety is an illusion.
