In a world where ancient rituals bind mortals to the whims of the undead, Jade finds herself unexpectedly entwined in a ceremonial selection by a vampire king. Initially dismissing the absurdity of her situation, she quickly becomes entangled in a perilous romance that pulls her between two monarchs, each vying for her heart with the stakes as high as her very life.

Erik, the benevolent ruler of the Demarco Coven, wears his heart on his sleeve. Chosen by him in the wake of his father's tragic assassination, Jade is drawn to his genuine kindness and the honorable leadership with which he guides his people. His gentle demeanor and unwavering honesty make him the apparent choice, but matters of the heart are rarely so simple.

Enter Alec, the formidable counterpart with a reputation for being both powerful and unyielding. Despite his rough exterior, moments of vulnerability shared in solitude hint at a deeper connection, challenging Jade's perceptions. His claim to Jade, complicated by a rivalry with Erik and a contentious past, casts a shadow of doubt and intrigue.

Torn between Erik's earnest affection and Alec's mysterious allure, Jade stands at a crossroads where her decision harbors consequences far beyond the matters of love. With the weight of her choice looming over her, she must navigate the treacherous waters of court intrigue and ancient vendettas. Will she follow her heart to a future with Erik, or will Alec's enigmatic past and evolving presence sway her destiny? The decision is anything but straightforward in this tale of love, loyalty, and the shadows that dwell within the vampire kingdom.
