When a brutal full moon drives a feared vampire lord beyond his control, one reckless bite binds his soul to a human girl he was never meant to touch. Now connected by an ancient blood bond neither of them understands, she can feel his rage, his hunger… and every emotion he tries to bury. He, in turn, is haunted by her heartbeat, drawn to her like a curse he cannot escape. But in a kingdom where bonded souls are considered sacred—and dangerous—their connection awakens long-forgotten magic that powerful vampires would kill to possess. As enemies close in and the bond between them deepens into something far more intimate, they must decide whether to break the curse destroying them… or surrender to it completely.
