Half elemental, half vampire, and bound to the realm of the dead, Princess Elania Night is a dangerous anomaly. When her mother is brutally murdered and her kingdom falls, Elania flees into the night. Hiding in the rain-slick streets of London as "Natalie," a humble seamstress, she trades royal blood for needle and thread, desperate to bury her dark past and build a peaceful life of her own choosing.

But you cannot run from an ancient blood ritual. Enter Amocsha: her sworn royal guardian, seven years her senior, and bound to her soul by magic. Stoic, fierce, and utterly unyielding, Amocsha tracks her across realm and ocean. He is the keeper of her deadliest secrets and the hunter she can never outrun.

As threats endanger the quiet refuge she bled to create, the inescapable bond between them pulls tight, threatening to drag her back into the dark world she escaped. Elania must decide whether to embrace the deadly lineage she ran from, or break the chains of fate...even if it means destroying the guardian sworn to protect her heart.
