In a cursed town where time seems to slow and flowers never bloom, a vampire lord named Levi Ackerman watches from the shadows of his crumbling manor. Once a ruthless prince among monsters, Levi lives in self-imposed exile, swearing never to drink human blood again after a massacre he regrets—but can’t forget. When a new caretaker arrives for the chapel near his estate—you, a golden-hearted, softly rebellious girl with a smile like dawn—Levi expects to frighten her off like all the others. She doesn’t leave. She tends the graveyard roses. She hums. She talks to him. She makes him feel something he thought long buried. She is drawn to the decay and mystery of the manor, unaware that her bloodline is tied to the very curse that binds Levi to the land. As she flits around the edges of his life—unafraid of his silence, oblivious to the way his eyes darken when her pulse quickens—Levi begins to lose control. He dreams of her neck, her lips, her soul. But she isn’t just a light in the dark—she’s the key to breaking the curse on both of them… and the price may be her humanity.
