In the shadows of a cruel vampire court, duty chains Kaelen to a master he no longer believes in. Sent to enthrall a mortal apothecary, he expects obedience and silence. What he finds instead is Elias Thornhart-fragile to the eye, iron-willed in truth-whose quiet defiance awakens in Kaelen the memory of choice.

As whispers of rebellion grow, Kaelen must decide whether to betray his covenant or risk everything for the one man he has been forbidden to love. Their vow, sealed in blood and devotion, becomes more dangerous than any leash the coven could bind.

This deluxe edition carries the story with a timeless touch: chapter headings and atmospheric detail designed to draw readers deeper into a gothic romance of knights, covens, and a sanctuary built on love.
