"You're hiding something," Leon whispered, blood staining his hands. Aria's blood is turning black, and every day the ancient curse inside her grows stronger. The only cure lies in the heart of the First Vampire - a monster believed to be nothing more than a legend. As Alpha heir Leon Ashthorne risks his life searching for a cure, a mysterious transfer student named Silas arrives at Ashthorne Academy. Charming, wealthy, and dangerously beautiful, Silas hides a secret that could destroy everything. The moment he catches Aria's scent, he realizes she carries a connection to a forgotten past that should have remained buried. But Aria is pregnant with a hybrid child - and neither Leon nor Silas knows who the father is. Torn between the man who would die to save her and the immortal monster who remembers a love lost centuries ago, Aria must uncover the truth before the darkness inside her awakens - and consumes the world.
