As the powerful leader of an ancient vampire clan, Ravenna has always followed one rule: humans are nothing more than blood banks. Her lovers are exclusively other vampires, never mortals. But when one of her most trusted companions brings her a new human, everything changes. The moment she tastes his blood, an unbreakable bond forms, unlike anything she's ever experienced. Forbidden by the High Order, falling in love with a human threatens not only her heart but the very survival of her clan. Will she defy the sacred laws and embrace this forbidden love, or sacrifice her deepest desires to protect her people from annihilation?
