Ellie has always felt like an outsider, drowning in loneliness and losing herself to grief, as she watches her mother battle a terminal illness and her father drift further away. She has never felt more alone—until the night she meets him.

 Liam—a handsome stranger with eyes that hold centuries of pain. From the moment their paths cross, Ellie feels an unexplainable pull toward him, as if they have met in another life, in another time. 

Liam is no ordinary boy—he is a vampire, cursed to wander the earth in search of vengeance against the monster who stole his family. He has lived lifetimes in solitude, believing love was something only mortals could afford, a luxury he would never know again. 

But Ellie awakens something in him—something beyond bloodlust, beyond fate itself. She makes him feel human again. She makes him want to stay. 

Their love is intoxicating, desperate, and doomed, a love neither of them fully understands. His warmth and touch, she always yearned for, her kisses and caresses always brought relieve to him.

But as Liam’s enemies close in and Ellie’s fragile world crumbles, they are forced to confront the cruel truth: their time is running out.  Loving Liam means risking everything—her soul, her mortality, and the thin thread of life she has left to hold onto. 

But some loves are worth dying for. 

And some are worth living for, even in the darkness. 

When the final battle comes, will fate tear them apart, or will love rewrite destiny itself?

**Ellie's POV**
*Try me.*
Adrien stilled for half a second. Then he smirked, the look in his eyes promising something dangerous.
And suddenly, I realized—
I wasn’t sure who was winning anymore.
And worse?
I wasn’t sure I wanted to escape.
**Adrien’s POV**
Ellie was stiff beside me, her body ...
