Beneath the earth for thirteen years, a starving vampire queen waits in darkness—until Evelyn, the true heiress Blackwood lost, crosses her gaze and wakes the dead silence. She speaks only one demand: feed me, or I take your blood. With her family already standing in her place, a corrupt court closing in, and Queen Julianna guarding the silver spike that shattered everything, Evelyn has no one to trust. But with the imprisoned monster at her side, the forgotten heiress is ready to burn a noble lineage to the ground.
