In the city ruled by vampires, Pure Omegas don't live long. They disappear. For twenty years, Kael has survived by becoming invisible. He hides beneath oversized hoodies, works the night shift at a blood clinic, and swallows illegal blocker pills to suppress the scent that could get him auctioned off to the highest bidder. Then one expired pill destroys everything. When his blockers fail inside a crowded subway station, the intoxicating scent of fresh lilies sends nearby vampires into a feeding frenzy. As bloodthirsty predators close in, Kael is certain his life is over. Instead... He is saved by the one monster everyone fears. Lucien Vale, the Blood Sovereign, is the strongest Alpha vampire in the Upper District. Cold. Untouchable. Merciless. Rather than hand Kael over to the High Council, Lucien offers him a single choice. Sign a protection contract... or die. Kael chooses survival. But the contract awakens an ancient blood oath neither of them meant to invoke, a forbidden bond that ties their blood, instincts, and fates together beyond law or choice. Now every vampire in the city is hunting the rare Omega hidden inside Lucien's penthouse. The High Council wants to dissect him. Rival Houses want to claim him. And the ruthless Sovereign who swore only to protect him is slowly losing control of the instincts that demand he scent, mark, and keep Kael forever. But Kael has spent his entire life fighting to stay free. He refuses to become anyone's possession... ...even if destiny insists he has belonged to Lucien for centuries.
