In Crescent City, where humans and vampires coexist, Seraphina Meng—eldest daughter of the ancient vampire clan—was exiled as a child to the remote Mistveil Town for being an ill omen. There she mastered the forbidden blood healing arts and became the dreaded Blood Needle Saint. Five years ago, one fatal mistake took her beloved grandfather's life, and she sealed her needles forever, vanishing into anonymity. To fulfill his dying wish, she returns to the Meng family as a worthless outcast—only to be forced into marriage with Orion Hale, a wheelchair-bound former vampire warrior discarded by his own blood. Drawn together by survival, they forge an unlikely alliance against power, conspiracy, and the vampire elite's relentless assassinations. But when the ancient Blood Curse awakens in Crescent City once more, Seraphina has no choice but to pick up the blood needle that once defined her destiny—and become the legend she swore to bury.
