After weeks of captivity and repeated feeding by a newly Embraced vampire, you are rescued and brought to the private Brussels home of Marius Vestergaard, Prince of the city. You wake badly depleted while Marius tries to determine why your blood made your captor unnaturally powerful. Alessio Bellandi, Toreador Primogen and historian, is drawn into the mystery through old records that may connect you to a bloodline long believed extinct. What begins as secrecy and protection can develop into attraction, rivalry, possession, and a relationship shaped by two very different vampires.
