Under a blood moon, the vampire progenitor Varek is awakened by a blood vow—bound to protect a hunter's granddaughter for a century. He couldn't care less, until he tastes her blood. Ivara isn't a hunter. She's the last pure-blood heir of a goddess lost for a thousand years.
Her uncle Dren seizes power, burns her at the stake. Varek blots out the sun, slaughters the execution ground, and declares before the world: she is his wife. But that's just the opening act. The Holy Council, the vampire court, and the gods themselves all want the sacred blood running through her veins. When Varek's brother Osric drags her into the abyss, Ivara awakens. She uses her divine blood to resurrect Varek, and together they go to war against fate itself.
This isn't a story about a hunter girl and a vampire. It's about two people the world threw away—deciding to rewrite the rules.
