She is the eldest daughter of Count Whitefield, ruler of a land roamed by bloodthirsty vampires. Cold-blooded by design, her heart had long forgotten warmth. Molded by her father into a flawless instrument of war, she knows nothing beyond obedience: protect the realm, slay the night, guard the borders of Duskmoore where the forest hungers just beyond the treeline.

But even the sharpest blade can falter.

When the Duke of Vaelmont—a beautiful, reclusive noble cloaked in elegance and mystery—enters her path, something changes. He is too polished, too poised... too familiar. And though her heart has been caged since girlhood, a whisper within begins to stir.

Will she remain her father's perfect weapon?

Or will she carve a fate of her own?
