First in the vampire romantasy series featuring a young woman whose past trauma turns into a destiny beyond her wildest dreams-and nightmares.

Marina and her twin sister Maggie have seen monsters all their lives. Such "hallucinations" drove their parents to put them in treatment for their mental health. But while Marina became an expert at pretending everything was normal, Maggie's only means of escape was to end it all.

Now, when Marina is abducted after a night out with friends, she learns that monsters really do exist. She is put up for auction. The bidders? Vampires. Luckily for Marina, the debauchery is disrupted when the vampire king, Julian Bellamy, makes a rare appearance to appease those who question his rule. Saving Marina from becoming an enslaved blood donor, Julian sweeps her away to his Louisiana home.

From the start, the golden-haired vampire arouses an overwhelming passion in Marina, but she will fight to the death to escape his clutches. Julian promises her safety and free will-all while struggling to keep his enemies at bay-including his own sadistic brother. His endless charm, patience, and smoldering looks slowly win Marina over. But surrendering to desires she's never felt before will put Marina in the crossfire of warring vampire factions, with the fate of humanity at stake...
