He is a dark and ruthless king who would burn the world to save his kingdom. Drayk Volther, the Vampire King, receives a prophecy: Find the Goddess of Life, or watch his kingdom fall. He finds her in Lithia - a young woman scrubbing floors for a cruel family, with no idea she holds the fate of a kingdom in her hands. His job is simple: Watch her. Guide her. Awaken her powers. Falling for her was never part of the plan. But the more he protects her, the more he craves her. When the palace discovers who she really is, they won't try to save her. They will try to destroy her. Now he must choose: His duty as king, or the woman who owns his heart.
