After losing her mother to cancer, Ophelia thinks the hardest part of her life is already behind her. Determined to turn grief into purpose, she transfers to the University of Belmore with one goal: become a doctor and save lives where she couldn't save the one that mattered most.
Then she meets Tobias.
Cold. Untouchable. Morally grey in a way that feels dangerous - and irresistible. There's something wrong about him, something that sets her pulse racing and her instincts screaming at the same time. He doesn't just haunt the shadows of campus... he owns them. And the deeper Ophelia falls into his orbit, the more she realises Tobias isn't just hiding secrets - he's starving.
Blood, desire, and obsession blur together as Ophelia is pulled into a world far darker than she ever imagined. Tobias is a vampire, and loving him means dancing on the edge of ruin. But just as their connection begins to feel inevitable, an ancient prophecy resurfaces - one binding Tobias to his long-lost love, Drusilla, in a marriage written in blood.
Fate says Tobias belongs to someone else.
Ophelia says she won't let him go.
With grief, hunger, and destiny colliding, Ophelia must decide how far she's willing to go - and how much of herself she's willing to lose - for a love that might destroy them both.
