After accidentally binding an ancient vampire through your family’s blood ritual, you’re forced into a dangerous connection with someone who hates everything you are. She can’t kill you—but she wants to. The bond links your emotions, turning control into something unstable. As your family pushes you to use her as a weapon, and enemies close in, you refuse to treat her like something owned. What starts as hatred slowly shifts into tension neither of you can ignore. And if the bond breaks… one of you might not survive.
