In a world ruled by predators, humans survive only by the mercy of monsters-or by defying them.
For over a century, humanity has lived beneath the shadow of three dominant supernatural tribes: vampires, werewolves, and witches. Their laws govern the land, their borders dictate life and death, and their hunger keeps humans enslaved, hunted, or broken. Freedom is a word spoken in whispers-until war finally comes.
When werewolves breach the human capital in a devastating siege, everything Lyra has ever known is destroyed in a single night. Separated from her comrades and haunted by the brutal loss of her brother, she is forced to flee south through hostile lands-wounded, hunted, and running straight into the territory of another ancient enemy.
Crossing into vampire land saves her life... but claims it in a different way.
Among immortal predators who see humans as fragile, fleeting things, Lyra's survival becomes bound to a vampire whose power is as terrifying as it is irresistible. Protection comes at a price, and desire blurs dangerously with control. The closer she grows to him, the more she must question whether she is being sheltered-or claimed.
This is a dark romance of survival, loss, and forbidden attraction-where love is sharp enough to wound, freedom is never given without consequence, and staying alive may cost Lyra far more than her blood.
