Ailsa never believed in monsters until she became one. What should have been an ordinary night shatters the moment Ailsa’s hidden true vampire self emerges and she is consumed by a hunger that threatens everything she once was. Dragged into a ruthless secret world of magic, ancient power, and creatures far more dangerous than any nightmare, she’s unsure of where to turn.
Now, she’s at the centre of a volatile power struggle centuries in the making. And to make matters worse, they all want her for their own gain. But one thing’s for certain: she won’t be owned by anyone. Unfortunately, things don’t go to plan when she is cornered by vampires far more experienced than her. Davien, her vampire captor, is dangerous, cruel, and infuriating, yet the only one keeping her alive. He should hate her. Instead, he protects her with a devotion that borders on obsession until their connection blurs the lines between hatred and something far more dangerous.
But Davien has secrets, ones that could destroy everything. And when a brutal betrayal exposes the truth of who and what Ailsa really is, she’s thrust into the heart of a den of vipers who will stop at nothing to control her. Blood is spilled and loyalties are tested as Ailsa’s power ignites in a way no one could have predicted when she is forced to make an impossible choice.
