A human doctor is ready to burn it all down.Dr. Kaelen Vance, a rising star in oncology, operates with surgical precision—a trait honed by years of cultivating a single, deadly motive: vengeance.Her younger sister was a victim of a cruel, ancient biological mistake, a failed experiment engineered by the world's most powerful exiled dynasty. Kaelen knows the truth: the sprawling, technologically advanced Aegis Institute—the humanitarian marvel where she now works—is the secret throne of the Vampire Kingdom, the Sanguine Concord.Her mission is simple: Infiltrate, develop her bio-weapon, the Viral Decimator, and destroy the entire Varrick bloodline, starting with the source of their power, the unique Varrick Anchor enzyme.But Kaelen never accounted for the heir.Lord Rhys Varrick—the charismatic Chief Administrator—is the kingdom's secret. He is the 250-year-old great-grandson of the Vampire King, driven by a desperate desire to modernize his dynasty.
