Amirah, an elite vampire and the mastermind behind a prestigious dating agency leads a life of power and independence until the sudden death of a trusted clan member shatters her world. With a trail of ash as her only clue, Amirah is thrust into a conspiracy that links her past to a mysterious artifact and a dangerous faction with deadly ambitions.
Enter Luka, a brooding hunter burdened by a haunting past. Assigned to surveil Amirah, his mission grows complicated as he’s drawn to the fierce vampire he’s meant to destroy. As they navigate betrayal, forbidden attraction, and a tangled web of secrets, Amirah and Luka are forced into an alliance against the deadly Rites of Adam—a faction intent on wielding supernatural power for their own sinister plans.
Their journey takes them from gritty city streets to isolated bays and hidden labs, with every revelation pulling them deeper into danger. For Amirah, survival means embracing her true identity as Zara, the Supreme Princess, and harnessing the power of her ancestral artifact. But with enemies lurking at every turn, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
In a world where loyalty is scarce, and love could be the ultimate weapon, Amirah and Luka must decide who to trust—before everything they hold dear turns to ash.
