For over 260 years, Aliya has lived with one purpose: revenge. After watching her parents and baby brother murdered by a rival vampire clan, she was forced to take her father’s place as leader. The loss hardened her into a ruthless, feared vampire who sees humans as nothing more than prey.
But everything changes when she meets Eric, a mysterious young man who unexpectedly calls her beautiful and defends her from a group of bullies. For the first time in centuries, Aliya feels something other than anger. Obsessed with him, she enrolls at Central City High School, determined to make Eric fall in love with her, turn him into a vampire, and build the life she never had.
However, Aliya soon discovers she isn't the only vampire interested in Eric. Lilith, a powerful and dangerously obsessed vampire, has claimed him as hers and will destroy anyone who gets in her way. Their rivalry threatens to expose the vampires' secret to the human world.
Then Aliya discovers a devastating truth: Eric is actually a vampire who was believed to have died over 200 years ago—the same vampire she blames for her brother's death. Her love turns to fury, but Eric insists he never killed her brother.
When Aliya finally begins to accept that Eric may have been innocent, she meets his father, Darius. One look at him brings her past crashing back. Darius is the very man who murdered her parents and destroyed her family.
Now Aliya faces an impossible choice: forgive the man she loves or destroy the family responsible for everything she lost—even if revenge costs her Eric forever.
