Quinn, the renounced son, is used to being on his own. Cut off from his own bloodline, persecuted by the aristocracy, he finally found his calling in one of the fiercest fighters against the Lessening Society. Now, only he does not feel the fullness of life. And although the prospect of starting his own family glimmers on the horizon, he is empty inside, because his heart already belongs to someone else... After so many years of unrequited love, Blay has let go of his feelings for Quinn. And just in time, because his friend has found his ideal match - the Chosen One and very soon they will have a new addition, as Quinn always wanted. It’s unbearably hard for Blay to see the newly-made couple together, but building a life on dreams and illusions is a direct road to a broken heart. What he knows firsthand. It seemed as if fate itself had torn these two vampire warriors apart... but when the race for the throne of the race intensifies, and new players on the Caldwell stage pose a deadly threat to the Brotherhood, Quinn finally learns the true meaning of courage, and the two hearts destined to be together... will finally beat in unison.
