As vampire king, Elio must protect his clan at all cost. There's no room for any distraction, especially if it comes in the form of a delicate human witch with a sassy mouth.

On the run from a corrupt government that wants to drain her of her magic, Serafina lands in hot water when she is rescued by a ship full of vampires. She sees the way the vampire king wants to devour her, but he's bitten off more than he can chew if he thinks she's going to melt for him.

Despite the violence she will bring to the gates of his kingdom, Serafina sets Elio's blood on fire, invading his dreams until he is consumed with the need to possess her.

No matter the consequences, he will claim her as his mate. Forever. She will be his, even if it leads to his destruction.
