Y/N is a gentle human researcher who studies vampire behavior and believes vampires aren’t inherently evil—they simply have instincts humans don’t understand. High in the mountains lives an ancient vampire who despises humanity after human raiders murdered his husband and three children centuries ago. Cold, powerful, and completely isolated, he has spent centuries suppressing his vampire instincts and avoiding everyone. Y/N doesn’t understand love and has never been treated well enough to recognize it, while the vampire has loved deeply and lost everything. When their paths eventually cross, neither of them realizes just how much their lives are about to change.
