Over endless lifetimes, Raurlin has tried to disappear. His unique gold-and-red eyes and razor-sharp claws mark him as an anomaly among his ancient vampire lineage. The vampire throne awaits him, but Raurlin has only ever seen it as a gilded cage. That is, until it is revealed to him that his parents held a shocking secret about his lineage and birthright. Accompanied by his loyal right-hand and best friend, Jackson, Raurlin must now seek out his hidden ancestry to understand the true nature that threatens to tear him apart.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the human world, Naomi is weary from restless nights and the lingering trauma of her parents’ death, finding comfort only in her studies and the unwavering friendship of Sarah. But when Naomi\u2019s darkest dreams guide her into Raurlin\u2019s path, a connection ignites that is instant, soul-deep, and terrifyingly permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Raurlin tries to reject her, even if it almost kills him. To accept his aeternum would be to drag her into a life of shadow and bloodshed. But the supernatural world is collapsing, infiltrated by a devastating dark magic that turns allies into enemies. When Sarah discovers she belongs to a forgotten line of powerful Balancing Witches, and Jackson begins to see her as more than just an ally, the four must flee to the mountains to unlock Raurlin’s full power.<\/span><\/p>\n
