Seven years of silence. One night of chance. A love haunted by blood and shadows.
Zayne Newton is drowning in grief after the death of his sister. Matthew Rourke is shackled by the trauma of a vampire's bite and the lies he's told to survive. Once inseparable, the two boys who loved each other in secret have grown into men scarred by loss, fear, and secrets too dark to name.
When fate pulls them back together in their hometown, sparks reignite-but so do the dangers waiting in the dark. Cassian, the ancient vampire who shattered Matthew's life, isn't finished with him yet. And the war between hunters, vampires is only beginning.
Bound by memory, desire, and the fragile hope of second chances, Zayne and Matthew must decide if love can survive not only the past, but the hunger, betrayal, and violence threatening to consume them.
