Chapter 1

"You're really giving me the chance to marry Lucian?"Rosalie covered her mouth, her eyes wide with disbelief.Our mother, Evelyn Ashford, slammed her palm on the table and jabbed a finger in my face."Iris, what kind of trick are you pulling now?""Offering to step aside, are you? Trying to play the victim in front of Lucian so he'll feel sorry for you?"I stared coldly at my mother and sister and said nothing.I pulled the marriage contract bearing the Vampire Court's gold seal from my bag and slammed it onto the table."The Elder Council has already replaced Iris Ashford with Rosalie Ashford on the contract.""Tomorrow, she marries Lucian.""I'll take her place in the diplomatic marriage and wed the Lord Commander of the Hunters' Order."The moment Rosalie saw her name on the contract, a squeal of pure delight escaped her.She snatched the contract and clutched it to her chest."You really went and changed the name?"Rosalie stared at the contract, her voice trembling with excitemen

The next morning, the bedroom door was shoved open."Still lying there playing dead?"Mother's shrill voice stabbed through my aching head."Get up. The prince sent a carriage to take you both for your dress fittings."I forced myself upright through the dizziness, bracing against the wall to stay on my feet.In the mirror, my face was bloodless. I looked half-dead.Mother saw it and didn't care. She curled her lip in disgust."What a miserable little ghoul. Your wedding is tomorrow, and you insist on looking like a corpse?"I ignored her taunts and changed into a high-collared dress to hide the bruises Lucian had left on my throat.When I came downstairs, Lucian and Rosalie were already seated in the living room.Rosalie wore an expensive dress, and my Heartstone glowed warm and red at her throat.The Heartstone's magic had put color in her cheeks and a radiant glow in her skin.Lucian walked over to me with a show of concern."Iris, you look awful.""Didn't you sleep last night?"He

Night fell, and the governor's estate blazed with light.The governor was hosting a banquet for both brides-to-be.I sat alone in the shadows of a corner, wearing the cheap, revealing white dress Lucian had forced on me.At the center of the hall, Rosalie swept through the crowd in her priceless custom-made black gown, the undisputed star of the evening.Lucian stayed glued to her side, his gaze lingering on her with barely concealed longing."The prince certainly seems devoted to the younger Ashford sister.""What a pity. A perfect couple like that, torn apart tomorrow."The murmurs around them were relentless.Hearing these whispers, the grief in Lucian's eyes deepened. He gripped Rosalie's hand tighter, as though she might vanish at any moment.I watched this pitiful melodrama from the sidelines, cold and unimpressed.Without warning, the hall's glass windows exploded inward.Three massive shadow demons, their bodies reeking of decay, came charging through the shattered glass with d

The water dungeon beneath the punishment chamber was bone-chillingly cold.Putrid water rose above my knees, thick with leeches that fed on magic.I hung suspended from heavy iron chains, not an inch of my body left unscathed.An entire night of flogging.But I hadn't cried out once.I just bit down on my lip, carving every ounce of humiliation and hatred into my bones.Soon. It would be soon.At dawn, the iron door groaned open from the outside.Lucian walked in wearing a sleek black wedding suit, immaculately groomed.He looked at my battered state without a shred of pity. Instead, his eyes held the condescension of someone dispensing charity."Rough night, Iris?"He stopped in front of me, pressing a white handkerchief over his nose."Don't blame me. I had to protect what little dignity Rosalie had left.""She's so fragile. Going to the Order is a death sentence for her. I couldn't let her be disgraced on top of everything.""You've always been strong. A few lashes won't kill you."

Chapter 5

The carriage glided through the perpetual silver mist and landed before Silverkeep, deep in the Hunters' Order's territory.The grounds lay silent. Only the occasional flash of silver eyes in the high towers betrayed the hunters watching from within.I paid no attention to the scenery outside. All my focus was on the mirror in my hands.In the mirror, Lucian pushed open the door to the bridal chamber with a tipsy roughness.Lucian shoved open the bridal-chamber door, already drunk and in no mood to pretend tenderness."Satisfied now, Iris?"Lucian sneered and ripped the black veil from the bride's head."Rosalie has gone to the Order to die. You got what you wanted. You're a princess now, and you..."His words stopped dead.Beneath the veil was a face painted with exquisite makeup, blushing with coy anticipation."Lucian..."Rosalie looked up at him, her eyes full of tender affection.Lucian recoiled as if struck. His body locked, his eyes widening in panic.He stumbled back two steps

On the barren frontier, Lucian led more than a hundred elite vampire riders toward the border at a punishing gallop."Blast through the barrier!"Lucian raised his Bloodmoon Scepter and roared, half-mad with fury.His riders exchanged uneasy glances. The adjutant screwed up his courage and stepped forward."Your Highness, a direct assault on the Order's border will trigger an all-out war...""I said blast it open! Are you deaf?!"Lucian struck the adjutant aside with the scepter and charged the barrier himself.The instant before the scepter struck, the barrier rippled.Then it peeled open from the center, almost alive.A column of armored hunters surged through the opening like a silver flood. The force of their arrival drove the vampire riders back in their saddles.At their head rode Nathaniel, and I sat secure in his arms, wrapped in his robe.Jealous rage twisted Lucian's face."Let her go!"Lucian pointed at Nathaniel and bellowed, his voice ragged with rage."Iris is my wife! Gi

Chapter 7

Lucian's adjutant and a handful of soldiers dragged him away like a carcass.The broken half of his scepter lay abandoned on the barren ground, stripped of all its luster, much like his pathetic pride.Back at the castle, Nathaniel immediately ordered the finest medicinal bath prepared for me.The silver-white healing waters filled the air with a strange, delicate fragrance, gently mending my body.Nathaniel dismissed everyone and stood guard by the bath himself.He studied the welts carved across my skin, violence gathering behind his ice-blue eyes."I should have just snapped his neck out there."He spoke through gritted teeth, his fingers barely skimming the surface of the water, as though afraid of hurting me.I leaned against the edge of the bath, feeling warmth I hadn't known in ages, and gently shook my head."Letting him die would be too easy.""I want to watch him lose his throne and crawl through the mud. I want the thing he treasures most to destroy him."Nathaniel studied m

"No... that's not possible!"In the mirror, Rosalie pressed a hand to her bleeding neck and backed away in terror. Her once-magnificent black gown was smeared with grime and dark blood."How can my blood be poisonous? I'm an Ashford!"Lucian clutched his chest. Rosalie's blood had done nothing to ease the backlash. Instead, the curse was eating through his veins like acid.What little power he had left was now completely gone."You treacherous witch... you poisoned me!"Lucian struggled to his feet and tried to grab Rosalie's throat, but the moment he moved, a spike of agony sent him crashing back down, his body convulsing on the floor.His adjutant, hearing the commotion, rushed in and paled at the sight."Your Highness! What happened?"The adjutant helped Lucian up while casting a wary eye at Rosalie, who was cowering in the corner."Seize... seize her!"Lucian forced out the words between bouts of coughing black blood."Her bloodline isn't just impure. It carries a demonic curse! Sh

Chapter 9

The heavy iron doors of the castle's great hall groaned open.The guards dragged Lucian and Rosalie into the great hall like a pair of prisoners.Lucian was nothing like the man he used to be.His hair was disheveled, his complexion ashen, his face covered in ugly black curse marks. His once-fine clothes hung in tatters, and his entire body reeked of decay.Rosalie looked even worse.She had spent the night in the same water dungeon that had been used to torture me. Her body was caked in filth and covered in leech bites.Her once-delicate face was so swollen it was unrecognizable, and the Heartstone that had hung from her neck was long gone.They looked up and saw me enthroned above them. Shock and disbelief flooded their faces."Iris..."Lucian's voice trembled as he spoke my name.He wrenched free of the guards and crawled on hands and knees to the foot of the steps, staring up at me, his eyes pleading."Iris, I was wrong! I know I was wrong!""I shouldn't have taken your Heartstone,

Chapter 10

"The Vampire Court is finished."Nathaniel said it flatly, delivering Lucian's death sentence."Without the protection of a pureblood, your barriers have completely collapsed.""Before sunrise, the Order's army will raze the Vampire Court's citadel. The Elder Council has already abandoned you."When Lucian heard this, the last shred of hope inside him shattered.His eyes rolled back, he spewed a mouthful of black blood, and collapsed unconscious.Before dawn pierced the silver mist, the Vampire Court's fall was already certain.Without pureblood magic to sustain them, the citadel's defenses collapsed at the Order's first assault.The nobles who had once ruled the Court threw down their weapons and fled.The Elder Council was uprooted entirely. Every privilege and glory they had known was ground beneath the victors' heels.Lucian and Rosalie were dumped like refuse in the ruins of the Vampire Court's central square.They weren't dead.Because I had specifically instructed Nathaniel to l
