On her eighteenth birthday, Natalia Dover expects a normal beach party at the coastal cove. Instead, under the crimson glare of a rare 500-year Blood Moon, her human life fractures. A dormant, forbidden vampire bloodline violently awakens within her, turning her long-feared anger issues into a lethal weapon of raw supernatural strength and dark nightmare weaving.Across the world in Northern Italy, the cold, ancient Vampire King Lorenzo de’ Medici has just activated a blood-ritual to tighten the seals on his most dangerous prisoner—unknowingly sending a magical shockwave that triggers Natalia's monstrous transformation.Forced to hide her terrifying new blood-hunger from her overprotective human mother, Natalia soon catches the attention of the tyrannical King himself. When Lorenzo arrives to eliminate the illegal anomaly, an explosive, violent psychological war begins. He has spent centuries ruling through cold logic, believing emotion is a fatal weakness. But Natalia is the one chaotic variable he cannot control, break, or resist.
