Overview

Some bonds are written in blood. Others are sealed with it. Lady Isabelle Ashford has spent her entire life hiding a terrible secret: she can sense vampires. When the ruthless Vampire Court discovers her gift, they send their most dangerous hunter to claim her—Katarina Volkov, a three-hundred-year-old predator with blood on her hands and ice in her heart. Katarina has her orders: deliver the girl to the Court, or everyone she loves dies. It should be simple. It should be easy. It should not feel like this. Bound and captive in a moonlit carriage, Isabelle should hate her kidnapper. But beneath Katarina’s cold façade lies a woman torn between duty and desire, trapped by impossible choices. And with every mile they travel together, the connection between them grows—a pull neither can deny, a hunger neither can resist. When Katarina is forced to feed from Isabelle, their bond ignites into something ancient and undeniable. Something that whispers of fate and forever. Faced with a choice between the Court’s demands and the woman who’s captured her immortal heart, Katarina must decide: deliver Isabelle to her doom, or risk everything for a love that defies death itself.
