They were born to be enemies. Fangs and claws. Bloodlines and betrayals. But destiny has other plans. Liora DeVoss is the heir to the vampire throne, sharp-tongued, sarcastic, and trapped in a legacy she never asked for. By day, she blends in at River City High with mismatched socks and quiet rebellion. By night, she walks the blood-soaked tunnels beneath the city, a reluctant princess of a dying war. Aiden Crowl is River City's golden boy, the star quarterback with a dangerous secret. Destined to lead his werewolf pack, he’s cracking under the weight of tradition, expectations, and the rage simmering just beneath his skin. When a violent clash in the undercity leaves them with a choice, to kill or save. They do the unthinkable: they spare each other. That moment ignites a forbidden connection neither of them can deny. But love between vampire and wolf is a betrayal written in blood. As ancient councils rage and shadow armies rise, Liora and Aiden find themselves hunted by their own kind. And when Selene, Liora’s childhood friend turned ruthless enemy, unleashes a war with fire and fury, the star-crossed lovers must decide: cling to duty… or burn down the world for each other. In the end, only one truth remains: some bonds are written not in fate, but in sacrifice.
