In a kingdom ruled by ravenous vampires, I was bred to serve and destined to bleed. When I'm chosen by an elite, I'm thrust into a deadly world of courtly intrigue and dark desires. The prince's icy exterior hides a fierce passion, but will I claim his heart or his crown? The more I unravel the twisted secrets of the vampire court, the more I realize that for my people to thrive, the king must die... and I'm the only one who can defy him. Can I find my grandfather's secret antidote and use it against the fanged tyrant—or will he kill me before I seal the deal with his immortal son?

But, when our weekly ration of healing elixir isn’t enough to save my mother, giving myself to Damien is my only hope. As heir to the Elite throne, the vampire prince’s assistance is vital to my mother’s health. Marriage is but one price I have to pay.

The truth is so much larger than I ever imagined, but if I find the source of the king's century-old lie, I may be able to reclaim the skies for good and finally drive the vampires into the shadows where they belong.
