Centuries after the Blood Wars, peace between humans and vampires is maintained by one unbreakable rule: every university student is permanently Bonded to a partner from the opposite species. Y/N never wanted a Bond. Especially not with Kenshi Akimoto. Campus favorite. Infuriating optimist. One of the rarest vampires alive—an Enigma. They’re forced to share a dorm. Forced to attend classes together. Forced to rely on one another. Unfortunately, they can’t stand each other. Their arguments become campus legend. Then the impossible happens. During the First Bonding Bite, Y/N reacts in a way no human ever has. He refuses to explain. Kenshi refuses to let it go. As old secrets surrounding the Crimson Accord begin to surface, the two most incompatible people on campus may be the only ones capable of uncovering the truth—if they don’t kill each other first.
