For twenty-five years, Aurora Clark has believed she is an ordinary woman living an ordinary life. Until one terrifying night, a mysterious vampire saves her from a creature lurking in the shadows and disappears before she can learn his name. Three days later, she sees him again. Lucian Blackwood is powerful, dangerously handsome, and surrounded by secrets. He knows things about Aurora that no stranger should know, and the closer she gets to him, the more impossible her life becomes. Strange enemies begin hunting her. Ancient vampires whisper her name. And the blood running through her veins may be far more powerful than she ever imagined. Aurora is not who she thought she was. She is an heiress to an ancient bloodline, one that could change the balance of the supernatural world forever. But the more she uncovers about her past, the more she realizes Lucian may not have saved her by accident. Their fates are bound by an ancient secret, and falling in love with him could cost Aurora her life. Because in a world where blood is power, love can be the most dangerous curse of all.
