Cora is unique among the vampires in Gray Vale. She is half fae. She has a beating heart. And she can bring life to the vampires around her, allowing them the ability to die when they desire it rather than being cursed with the same dreadful existence for eternity. Cora’s gift makes available this “death by desire” that is prized in the vampire world. Offering life to vampires is a beautiful gift, but it can also be used as a weapon. And that is what the royal family of vampires wishes to do. With no other choice, she must marry into the royal family for protection from those who are threatened by her ability. But when a “pet” lycan is gifted to her who is her true mate, will she find a way to break off the engagement, threatening her family and everyone else she loves in the process? Can her mate's lycan pack possibly win against the vampires who do not want to part with her? Or will they be forced apart? Published exclusively on Webnovel.

"An alternative?" Cora frowned.
"You are still a vampire," Grayson said. "You just will not allow yourself to be. If you let your heart stop…"
"No," Cora shook her head, her heart skipping ahead of her. "No, I'm not doing that."
"Why are you so afraid of it? It is who you are. It is at least half of who you are," he said gently. "And there is no part of you that deserves to be hidden."
Her forehead feathered at that. She hadn't thought of it that way. It was half of who she was, but it was the half that she didn't want. Not even her father wanted it.
"It is the half of me that is terrifying," she said tremulously, wetting her lips, and Grayson's gaze dropped there.
