Evelyn, a human orphan sold to the royal palace, becomes the personal blood servant of Vampire Crown Prince Lucien. Ordered to teach the supposedly inexperienced prince about intimacy, she soon discovers he has been pretending—and their forbidden lessons ignite a dangerous love.
But when Lucien announces a political engagement and Evelyn overhears him call her nothing more than a plaything, she flees the kingdom carrying a secret: his child.
Three years later, Lucien finally finds Evelyn and Damian, the little boy who bears his unmistakable features. As buried feelings resurface, Evelyn learns that Lucien’s cruelty may have been a mask—and that her own bloodline is connected to a conspiracy that destroyed both their families.
With a traitor closing in and the vampire throne at stake, Lucien must win back the woman he never stopped searching for, while Evelyn must decide whether she can trust the prince who once shattered her heart.
