In sickness and in health, until death do you part?”  "I most certainly do, father…" Nearing the day, he'd finally be tied to the woman he loves, Rupert Kilmer eagerly waited for her sweet answer. Those two words and the priest's declaration of their union. Yet, as he unveiled the woman in white, the face that appeared wasn't his bride. "Eridessa…? Wait what?

At three months pregnant, I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. My husband, a doctor, was overwhelmed with worry, pulling every string he could to arrange surgery and remove the baby. "As long as you're okay, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have our own child. We can always adopt. I can't lose you, Evelyn!" Heartbroken, I blamed myself for being useless, for failing to carry our child, and for disappointing my husband. But then, I accidentally saw his chat messages with another woman on the phone. "Don’t worry, I already told her she had an ectopic pregnancy." "I’ll have her sign the adoption papers soon, then find a way to bring you into our home." "Asher is my only son. I will make sure he inherits everything I have!" That was when I realized that the husband I loved so deeply had long since built another family behind my back.

What will triumph? Her admiration for her father's decisions or her desire for vengeance on those who have wronged her in the past?

"Ang mga PUTI at ITIM ay parehong mga lahi ng BAMPIRA na mahigpit na magkaribal sa mahabang panahon simula sa taong Pitong-daan at dalawa (702)." Ang mga puting bampira ay ang mga bampirang itinuturing na mabubuti at may puso ngunit sa kabilang banda naman, ang mga itim ang siyang kabaliktaran. Mga traydor, gahaman, at walang mga puso sa kapwa nilang kalahi.

Habang lumalaki ang bunsong anak ng Supremo ng mga itim ay mas lalo itong nagiging makapangyarihan kung kaya't nagsagawa sila ng hakbang upang unahan ang nga itim sa gagawin ng mga itong pag-ubos sa kanila. Hindi nila inaasahan na mapapatumba nila ang Prinsipe ng mga itim sa pamamagitan ng isang kemikal na magpapatulog nito sa mahabang panahon.

Ngunit, lingid sa kanilang kaalaman na may natitira pa pa lang mga bampira na nagmula sa lahi ng mga itim na desididong muling pabangonin ang kanilang lahi na matagal nang natutulog sa mahabang panahon. Sino lahi ang magwawagi? At sinong lahi ang tuluyang mabubura sa kasaysayan?
