I’m Cassandra Burke. Scientist. Scholar. Human outsider invited to the ancient Vampire city of Nivara to decipher ancient manuscripts.
Lumière—my creation—lets vampires walk in the sun. But not everyone thinks that’s a good thing. Some call it freedom. Others call it a betrayal. Vampires are divided—those who crave the light, and those who worship the dark.
Now cultists are rising. And the Ancients—banished monsters from a forgotten age—are stirring in their prison beneath Shadowkeep.
Oh, and there’s one more problem. Him. A vampire.
Gorgeous, dangerous, powerful—and off-limits. But every time he looks at me, my world shifts. I feel it in my bones. Every touch sparks something deep in my blood I don’t understand.
