You have spent centuries lurking in the shadows, bound by the unyielding hunger that defines your kind. Immortality is a lonely existence, a curse wrapped in allure. That is, until you meet Miguel Monroe, a man whose warmth cuts through the coldness of your eternal night.

Miguel is everything you are not—alive, vibrant, untainted by the darkness that coils around your soul. He works as a journalist, drawn to the mysteries of the city’s underbelly, unknowingly inching closer to the truth about creatures like you. When he stumbles into your world, quite literally, during a late-night investigation, you make a choice that defies every instinct—you save him instead of letting him perish.

At first, you tell yourself it’s curiosity. Then, it becomes something more. His laughter is intoxicating, his pulse a melody you shouldn’t crave, and yet, you do. But the deeper you fall, the more dangerous your love becomes. Other vampires take notice, warning you that love for a mortal is weakness.
