"They say vampires burn under the sun," she whispered, her voice trembling as her fingers clutched the hem of her dress.
He stepped closer, silver eyes glowing in the shadows. "And they say humans make us monsters when we drink their blood."
"Is it true?"
"That depends... on whether I lose you first."
Eighteen years hidden beneath the earth, Elowen Khyle Ashryn has never felt the wind on her face, never smelled the forest in full bloom, never known freedom-until she wanders into a forbidden garden. There, beneath the filtered sunlight and rustling leaves, she meets Lucien Tiberius Valencrest, a vampire prince whose presence is both terrifying and irresistible.
Every heartbeat is a risk. Every glance, a temptation. Beneath the canopy where shadows move like predators, a fragile connection blooms between human and vampire, innocence and danger entwined.
But darkness waits. Betrayal, ancient rivalries, and bloodlines that will not forgive threaten everything. To survive-and to love-they must defy centuries of cruelty.
A dark fantasy romance of forbidden bonds, deadly secrets, and hearts that refuse to stay hidden. Every choice could save them... or destroy them.
