In an ancient battle between the neuri of Belgrade and the Vampyre, Zaria is caught in the middle. She is hopelessly drawn to Darise but then the neuri Zauran kidnaps her, changing everything. It couldn't be more complicated. Darise offers unconditional love, Zauran offers rabid passion, throw in the rest of the family and you have mayhem. Then betrayal catapults Zaria into Zauran's life just when a king returns to cause anarchy. Božena is a poisoned thorn in Zaria's side, and her world comes crashing down as violence, betrayal and death, threaten to rip her from love. A king's key is the bridge between Zaria and happiness, but for some the intervention comes too late.
