Within Lord Davian’s realm, power is the only law. Humans are seen as weak—mere things to be used or cast aside. Mercy is rare, rank rules all, and catching the eye of the most feared Vampire Lord usually means a swift end. Masema, eighteen, enters this cruel world alone—an ordinary girl surrounded by shadows and monsters. She expects only hardship… never to draw the attention of Davian himself. He is cold, untouchable, built of pride and darkness—yet something in her quiet strength tugs at him, defying all he believes. When danger closes in from every side, Davian breaks every rule to stand between her and harm. ‎ ‎For the first time, Masema learns she might be worth protecting… and in Davian’s shadow, being wanted is the most dangerous thing of all.
