The Vampire King Knelt

Human lawyer Catherine is forced into an engagement with Damon, the vampire king, to investigate a bombing. Bound by a thirty-foot blood pact, they uncover the truth together: Damon learns to respect rather than control, while Catherine finally confronts her past. When the mastermind Vincent triggers an "Artificial Dawn" to seize power, Catherine exposes the truth in court and abolishes the old system. Unshackled, they ultimately choose each other as equals.
