Seventeen-year-old Lia has terminal stomach cancer. Her final wish is to spend one last normal school term at London’s prestigious St. Aurelia Academy. There, she meets Aiden Vale, a cold, aloof vampire heir who avoids sunlight and keeps everyone at a distance. When Lia’s blood touches his ring, a dormant blood-pact mark on his wrist suddenly awakens. Aiden discovers he cannot read her memories, yet her presence stirs something powerful within him. As their bond deepens through stolen moments and shared secrets, Lia hides her illness and a bucket list she may never finish. Aiden, meanwhile, is trapped by his family’s rules and a blood pact controlled by his brother. With only one summer left, can their fated love survive the truth?
