Lucretia: I never imagined becoming the first female Guardian of the Vampire Nation would involve so many shadows from my past. After a life shaped by violence and betrayal, I finally clawed my way to a semblance of peace. But now, those ghosts are back, and they threaten to expose the deepest secrets I've fought to conceal. I stand at a crossroads: betray my history and risk execution, or abandon the one love that awakens a fire in me I thought I'd never feel.

Kurtis: Every day, I shoulder the immense weight of my duties. Leading my people is only part of it; managing the dojo among humans and controlling the beast within me adds to my burdens. But it's Lucretia, the enigmatic vampire who has captured my heart, who truly complicates my life. I can't shake the feeling that her past holds the answers I need, yet diving deeper into her secrets may cost me everything. With loyalty to the woman I trust above all others pulling me in one direction and my heart tempting me toward Lucretia, I find myself teetering on the edge of a choice that could change everything.
