🍁An enthralling paranormal romance where revenge meets kismet, & passion blazes amidst the darkness🍁 Bound by a past marred by betrayal and blood, I’m hell bent on getting revenge. I’ve been hunting the woman who sired me against my will for decades. Consent is everything to me, and my resolve is unyielding as I’m determined to make Veronica pay. My purpose is crystal clear... until I cross paths with Athena, my mate. In an instant, my plans crumble, my reality skewed as I struggle with finding my forever, only for her to be human. Will I turn her? No, but, things outside of our control always seem to happen when two people are fated to be together. With adversaries closing in, I question everything, including how I can possibly protect her when I’m forced to remain in the shadows. However, some destinies refuse to be thwarted. The woman I worry most about soon discovers she’s not so ordinary after all, and in the end, I’m not the only one looking for vengeance.
