Once the vampire king stakes his claim, there’s no escape.

I thought I could save Ezekiel, but I was wrong.

It isn’t me he needs.

Ariella, the woman gifted to him by the House of Spirit, is the key to breaking his curse. I need to step aside to allow the mystical forces that bind them to get to work.

It’s time to leave Branwood Castle for good.

As I dive back into my role as head of Chapter and my work on the missing people case, my friendship with Kaster Black begins to bloom into something more. And just when I believe that I’m healing from losing my place at Ezekiel’s side, I’m proven wrong.

The vampire king may have allowed me to leave, but he will never let me go.
