It's official. I am the world's worst stripper.

From the orphanage to the stage, I've always been the black sheep. People avoid me like the plague...

Until I meet Semion—the only purebred vampire in the Relic area of New York State. He is also the only man who has ever intrigued me and brings me back from the overwhelming darkness that is my life. So when I am introduced to others of his kind, I'm taken by surprise just how many of them speak to my soul.

But regardless of how much I finally fit in, I am still damaged. I still require the blood it takes to lead. It's not until I am presented to the purest of vampires that my path to destiny is set in stone.

Abandoned at birth and rescued as a stripper, I find myself forced into a position of worth—a reign I will make true on, or die trying.
