Or so Aella believed her entire life. But after seeing a vicious gargoyle warrior slaying an innocent vampire, Aella realizes she's been deceived. Vampires are alive. Gargoyles are not holy protectors. And they will kill anyone who dares to defy their reign of terror. Including her. Wounded and betrayed, she seeks help in the most dangerous place for a gargoyle—a vampire clan led by Zeydan, a powerful royal… Whom she tried to kill mere days before. Zeydan has every logical reason not to trust Aella, but all his supernatural instincts scream that he should protect her. And after narrowly surviving a battle against their most wicked foes, Aella and Zeydan develop a searing bond. They were born to destroy each other, and they try to resist their dangerous draw. But falling into temptation has never felt so right. In the end, will they be each other’s salvation or ruin?
