Elias is an ordinary human waiter struggling to pay his mother’s medical bills, until he accidentally enters a vampire gathering and catches the attention of Severian de Noctis, the cold and powerful heir of the ancient Valentine bloodline.
For three hundred years, Severian has felt no desire, hunger, or emotion—until a single touch from Elias awakens instincts long thought dead. Terrified after discovering Severian’s true identity, Elias tries to escape, but Severian learns about his sick mother and begins protecting him in unexpected ways.
Dragged into a dangerous world of vampires, luxury, and ancient bloodlines, Elias slowly discovers that behind Severian’s ruthless reputation is a lonely immortal who has forgotten how to love.
As their bond deepens, Elias must uncover why he alone can awaken Severian’s blood, while Severian must choose between his ancient instincts and the first person in centuries who has made him feel alive.
