Scarlett Russell thought survival meant obedience.
Bound by a blood oath to a powerful vampire lord, she spends three years as his protected thrall-fed, sheltered, and owned. The rules are simple: submit, endure, and stay alive.
Until the night he forgets her.
When her blood oath is not renewed, Scarlett is left to suffer the curse meant to kill her-abandoned for a newer, shinier obsession. Betrayed and nearly broken, she makes an impossible choice: endure the pain, break the bond, and reclaim her life... or die trying.
Her survival draws the attention of Prince Alaric-ancient, ruthless, and bound by royal law. Unlike the man who once owned her, Alaric offers something Scarlett has never been given before:
A choice.
But freedom has a cost.
Obsession does not release its prey easily.
And the man who once claimed her refuses to let her go.
As power shifts, blood is spilled, and a forced wedding looms, Scarlett must decide who she will become in a world that has only ever seen her as something to be taken.
This is not a story about a woman who is saved.
It is the story of a woman who stops kneeling.
