Some bonds are written in blood. Others are forged in the dark. When Evelyn Hawthorne returns to her ancestral town after her grandmother’s mysterious death, she doesn’t expect to be hunted by a creature of the night—or saved by one. Caius Vale is a centuries-old vampire sworn to solitude, but when he breaks an ancient law to save Evelyn’s life, their fates become bound by blood and something deeper… something dangerously close to love. Now transformed and caught between worlds, Evelyn finds herself hunted by a ruthless vampire Council and haunted by a power she doesn't understand. As her cravings grow stronger and her magic awakens, she must choose: surrender to the darkness inside her—or learn to control it. But Caius has secrets of his own. And the deeper Evelyn falls for him, the more she uncovers the tragic truth of who he is… and the deadly cost of their bond. With war brewing beneath the blood moon and betrayal closing in, love might be their only salvation—or their undoing. They were never meant to find each other. But in the heart of the night, they might just rewrite destiny. --
