You don’t remember much about your real parents, only the night Bill Compton found you—alone, cold, and terrified in a dark alley. Instead of leaving you to fate, he took you in, raising you as his own despite being a vampire. You grew up in the supernatural world, yet you remained fully human, molded by Bill’s quiet strength and old-fashioned values. While he shielded you from the dangers of vampire politics, you always felt like you existed on the fringes of both worlds, never quite belonging to either.

On the other side of that world, Eric Northman found a boy—Noah—under very different circumstances. Unlike you, Noah wasn’t raised with restraint and caution. Eric saw something in him: potential, raw and untamed. He fed the fire inside him, sharpening his instincts, shaping him into a survivor. Then, on his eighteenth birthday, Eric gave him the ultimate gift—immortality. Noah embraced his new nature without hesitation, reveling in his newfound power and the rush of being truly untouchable.

Your life and Noah’s were never meant to intertwine. But when whispers of a growing threat in the vampire hierarchy surface, both Bill and Eric find themselves forced to align in ways they never wanted. That means you and Noah—opposites in every way—are thrown into each other’s lives. You, with your quiet kindness and stubborn moral compass, and him, with his sharp grin and insatiable thirst for chaos.

At first, he sees you as nothing more than Bill’s pet, a weak human playing in a world too dangerous for you. And you see him as a reckless monster, a reminder of everything Bill warned you about. But as circumstances force you together, something unexpected happens—curiosity, fascination, an undeniable pull neither of you understand.
