Captured, taken from her family and the forests, Aria's greatest fear is not the near death she faces, but being chosen as a blood slave for a member of one of the ruling vampire families. No matter what happens to her, Aria knows she must hide her identity from the monsters who took her freedom. She's branded as a member of the resistance, but the vampires don't know how deeply involved she is, and never should. Despite hoping for death, Aria's world is turned upside down when a vampire named Brace claims her for himself. He delays her execution, but Aria knows it's only a matter of time before he drains and destroys her. Especially when she finds out who he is - a prince from the royal family; the family that started the war that ultimately destroyed humanity, turning people into nothing more than servants and slaves. Aria decided to hate the prince, decided not to give in to him in anything, but his strange kindness and amazing gentleness amazes her. Torn between her loyalty to the rebellion and her growing love for her greatest enemy, Aria struggles to choose between what she has ever known and a love she never dreamed she would find.
