For thousands of years, the Darkness has chosen its champions—granting power, feeding ambition, and demanding sacrifice to those it favored.

The Vampire Paul is not this champion.

He is, however, cunning and patient.

Ryet, cursed by his demonic transformation, is bound by blood to Syrsee, a witch whose very existence fuels his hunger and his torment. Each drop of her blood brings him closer to becoming the monster he fears, even as their connection grows intoxicatingly intimate. Is it love between them? Or just an addiction?

In a world of blood and magic, where power corrupts and love ensnares, the Darkness always demands more—and the battle for eternity is only beginning.
