The Pure‑Blood Council Forbids the Embrace of Humans In the vampire‑ruled Warwick Empire, the Pure‑Blood Council bans turning humans into vampires, yet nobles keep human slaves without restraint. Ian Shaw, sole heir of a demon‑hunting clan, is sold at slave auction and purchased by pure‑blood duke Nolan for his unruly spirit. Their entanglement begins with Nolan’s urge to conquer, and Ian repeatedly resists and flees. At the Full‑Moon Gala, Ian’s demon‑hunter lineage is revealed. Nolan defies the council to protect him. The Senate lays a trap to hunt them down. Ian suffers a fatal wound shielding Nolan from death. Defying vampire taboos, Nolan performs the forbidden Embrace. The merged bloodlines awaken Ian’s unique Silver‑Fire power. Hunted across the empire, the two gather allies and march toward their fateful showdown at Dragon‑Bone Cliff.
