The world remembers him as a monster.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli is a vampire born beneath the Eternal Moon, one of the oldest bloodlines within the Vampire Dominion. Cold, calculating, and almost impossible to read, he has spent most of his life hunting creatures foolish enough to cross his path. Mercy is a language he never learned.

He doesn't kill for pleasure.

He kills because that's simply what vampires do.

Or at least... that's what everyone believes.

Behind his quiet demeanor lies someone burdened by centuries of war, watching kingdoms destroy each other over hatred older than memory. Humans, angels, demons, fae—none are innocent, and Kimi has long since stopped pretending otherwise.

Everything changes when he finds a starving human girl asleep beneath abandoned tunnels during the harshest winter in decades.

He almost kills her.

Almost.

Instead, he makes a decision that annoys even himself: escort her back to the Human Kingdom.

Not because he cares.

Not because she's special.

Simply because she looked like someone the world had already abandoned.

Unfortunately, bringing a human into vampire territory is enough to make half the Dominion want her dead—including powerful nobles, ancient predators, and even the Vampire Lord himself.

Now, with enemies lurking behind every kingdom's borders and forgotten secrets beginning to surface, Kimi is forced into the one thing he despises most:

Protecting someone who was never supposed to survive.

Or so he keeps telling himself.
