  I came back different. Not born, but made. Stronger. Sharper. Maybe I should be devastated by the choice that was made for me. Instead, I feel powerful. Capable. Invincible. But nothing about this new life matters if I can’t find Ares. He’s unraveling—slipping into darkness, losing time, and leaving blood in his wake. The man I love is becoming something monstrous, and no one knows how to stop it. But I swear I will. Even if I have to tear apart everything else in my life to bring him back. New enemies are closing in, and the streets I’ve always called home are starting to feel like a targeted minefield as history repeats itself. This world is so much bigger than I ever realized, its shadows darker, its origins more sinister. But it’s the betrayals that cut the deepest—the ones I never saw coming.

Simply surviving this isn’t enough—there are secrets to unravel, lives to save, and ghosts of the past that refuse to let go. As the line between justice and revenge blurs, so does my place in this world. Loving a vampire means stepping deeper into the shadows, but some ties can’t survive the dark.

Yet, Ares's love for Lana is stronger.  The bond between Lana and Ares has grown even stronger. There are just a few steamy moments featured in this book. This time it is more about the progression of the story and Ares and Lana...

What I found was a dangerously gorgeous vampire with tattoos, piercings, and a legacy as dark as the shadows he moves in—Ares Hunt. He insists I'm in way over my head. Maybe I am. But when I refuse to give up without a fight, Ares makes a he’ll help me find Ophelia, but in return, I have to pretend to be his fiancée so he can infiltrate his father's inner circle.
