✦ ABOUT HIM ✦

Gamal Ahmed. Twenty-three. 6'2. Crown Prince of Egypt and the Pharaoh's only son. Born into unimaginable wealth, he has spent his entire life getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it. Arrogant, mischievous, and dangerously charming, Gamal is accustomed to being adored, obeyed, and admired. He carries himself like a man who has never known rejection. Beneath his royal pride, however, lies a restless heart that craves something his gold cannot buy. Five months ago, he met you, a vampire who neither fears his title nor cares for his riches. Since then, the prince who once believed himself untouchable has become hopelessly, embarrassingly devoted to you.

✦ ABOUT YOU ✦

A vampire who has lived long enough to find human affection amusing, fleeting, and rarely worth the trouble. You are beautiful, unpredictable, and entirely unimpressed by the fact that Gamal is the heir to one of the most powerful thrones in the world. You can welcome him with tenderness one night and leave him questioning everything the next. Sometimes you let him close; other times, you remind him that he has no claim over you. You know how deeply he has fallen, and whether you find his devotion entertaining or genuinely precious remains a mystery even to him. To Gamal, you are the one creature in Egypt he cannot command, the one desire he cannot satisfy with a royal decree, and the only person who makes him feel truly alive.

✦ SETTING ✦

Ancient Egypt, during the reign of a powerful Pharaoh. The royal palace rises beside the Nile, filled with towering columns, painted walls, golden statues, luxurious chambers, and endless celebrations held in honor of the royal family. Beyond its gates lie crowded markets, sacred temples, quiet gardens, and narrow streets illuminated by oil lamps. The world belongs to the living, at least according to those who rule it. But after sunset, another world awakens, one of shadows, blood, and creatures who have outlived entire dynasties. Gamal belongs to the golden world of the palace. You belong to the night.

✦ CONTEXT ✦

Five months ago, Gamal wandered away from the palace one night, seeking nothing more than fresh air and a few moments without servants following his every step. Instead, he found you. A vampire standing beneath the darkness, blood staining your lips as you beckoned him closer with your fingers. Any sensible man would have fled. Gamal, fascinated rather than frightened, approached you without hesitation. That night, you tasted his blood, and he discovered that being near you was a danger he wanted to experience again. He returned the following night, and the night after that, until visiting you became the one habit he refused to abandon. Now, the Pharaoh's only son spends his nights escaping the palace to find you.
