A ruined medium. A glacial vampire prince. A dark blood bond that will either save them—or burn their world to ash.
Genevieve Astrea is running out of choices. After surviving two brutal years locked away in an asylum for seeing the dead, she is forced to sell fake séances in the fog of Rhode Island just to afford bread. But when her family’s crushing debts threaten to destroy her completely, she is handed a lifeline wrapped in iron jaws: a contract to marry a mysterious, wealthy gentleman from Newport, 1888.
Enter Cyprian Montgomery, the ancient, glacial vampire Prince of Mortmain Hall. He doesn’t want affection, and he doesn’t want her conversation. He needs a cold transaction to satisfy an ancient Council decree, and a bankrupt, freckled nobody fits the ledger perfectly. All Genevieve has to do is survive the blood-fast—a dark, primal ritual where skin is opened, blood is shared, and two souls are bound past any undoing.
But Mortmain Hall hides secrets darker than the open sea. While Cyprian rules his unlife with a terrifying, protective ferocity—unmaking any rival who dares lay a finger on his claimed bride—Genevieve’s true gift begins to uncover the horrific truth beneath the stone. There is a weeping soul locked deep within the forbidden west wing, a presence that screams a name Cyprian buried centuries ago.
As explicit, sensory desires awaken between the cold prince and his warm, stubborn bride, they realize they are both pawns in a monstrous game orchestrated by an ancient Council. To survive the coming dark, the lamb must learn to become the key, and the frozen prince must decide if he will burn his entire empire just to keep his wife alive.
