Vampire lord Valerius cuts out his pregnant wife Aura’s heart to save his false true love Elena, accidentally breaking the thousand-year seal on Aura’s ancient Crimson Witch bloodline. Reborn with overwhelming power, Aura reclaims her heart and leaves him. Kael, North America’s strongest Lycan Alpha, swears fealty as her queen and spoils her deeply. As Valerius descends into desperate regret and Elena conspires with the First Abyssal Vampire, Aura rises to rule—only to face a deadly crisis when Kael is poisoned on their engagement day.
