After her mother's mysterious suicide, Lila learns her stepfather's dark secret: he sold her mother's soul to vampires years ago. When their family faces financial ruin, Lila is given as payment to a mystery creditor known as the Blood King. But what seems like a death sentence becomes something far more complex when Lila learns she's not entirely human.

Born with a rare blood condition that makes her immune to vampire mind control, Lila learns she's the last descendant of the Crimson Witch, whose bloodline was cursed to keep a seal between worlds. Her rare blood doesn't just support vampires—it can either strengthen or destroy the ancient barrier keeping a primordial darkness at bay.

Trapped in a contract marriage with the enigmatic Blood King and caught between three powerful vampires who each claim a piece of her heart, Lila uncovers the horrifying truth: she's not the first of her bloodline to walk these halls—she's a reincarnation, doomed to repeat the same tragic love story throughout time. But this time, the Blood King isn't the only one keeping secrets. Lila holds a darkness of her own that could either save them all or consume everything in its path.

In the Ebon Citadel, freedom comes with a price, and some ties transcend death itself.

The moon hung full and bright in the night sky as a tall figure dressed in black moved through the shadows. This was Darius, once a friend to the Blood King, now his worst enemy. His face was hidden under a dark hood, but his eyes glowed with an eerie green light as he stared up at the castle walls....
