We were taught hunger before mercy.
She was raised by the Order to kill monsters.
He was born into a bloodline that ruled them.
The youngest son of an ancient vampire house, he was trained to hunt but never to enjoy it. She was sent to destroy what should never have opened its gates to her.
Instead, he lets her in.
As the world thins and the hunters close in, their uneasy alliance becomes something more dangerous than war. He teaches her how to survive without cruelty. She reminds him what it means to choose restraint over instinct.
But blood remembers.
And the crown does not forgive weakness.
This is a dark, slow-burn vampire romance about hunger, inheritance, and the quiet love that grows between two people raised to destroy each other and hesitate anyway.
