I never wanted to marry my enemy. But fate—and a fragile peace treaty—had other plans. My name is Lira Voss, and I'm the last thing the vampire world wants to a forbidden hybrid with powers that could destroy everything they've built. When the centuries-old war between vampires and shifters finally reaches a breaking point, I'm offered up as a sacrifice—an arranged marriage to the one man who should be my mortal enemy. Killian Blackthorne. Dangerously gorgeous. Fiercely protective. And the most dominant alpha shifter I've ever met. From the moment we collide on the blood-soaked border, magic crackling between us like lightning, I know he's going to ruin me. One smoldering look from those golden-flecked gray eyes, and my carefully constructed ice queen façade starts to crack. But our forced proximity in a crumbling estate reveals secrets neither of us can hide. He's wielding forbidden alpha magic that could get him executed. I'm corrupted by void essence that marks me as an abomination. We should be enemies. We should hate each other. Instead, every heated argument ends with his hands on my skin, every dangerous mission pushes us closer, and when I drink his blood to save his life, the bond between us becomes absolutely unbreakable. Then betrayal strikes from within, and suddenly we're fighting for more than just survival. Knox, Killian's trusted Beta, wants us dead. The councils want us separated. Ancient prophecies claim we're either saviors or catastrophes. And the enemies closing in won't stop until our bond—and our lives—are destroyed. Now we're exiled, hunted, and bound by a love so fierce it defies every law our peoples have ever known. With assassination attempts around every corner and a conspiracy that runs deeper than we ever imagined, we have only each other to trust. Good thing I bite back. And my alpha? He's not the sharing type. Together, we'll burn down anyone who tries to tear us apart. Together, we'll prove that the most dangerous thing in this world isn't a vampire or a shifter—it's a bonded pair who refuse to break. Where I go, he goes. In blood and moonfire. Forever.
