A priestess finds forbidden love in the arms of a mysterious man she believes is the vampire king. Born with peculiar markings on her skin, Lucia, a sheltered priestess, has always felt inadequate. When she’s tasked with luring the vampire king into a trap to bring about his downfall, she agrees. The trap is set. As twilight descends, a mysterious man appears, playing the lute. Instead of draining her blood, he steals a kiss and sets her free. Lucia can't stop thinking about that kiss, and to make matters worse, the runes on her skin begin to itch and glow. Driven by the need for answers, she sneaks out to strike a deal with the enigmatic man who plays the lute. He’s devilish and dangerous, and everything a priestess like her should run from. So why is her heart conflicted and why does she contemplate breaking her vows to indulge in forbidden love?
