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.

Kat informed Penelope and Cora that they were expected to dine with the royal family that night, and Cora found herself actually looking over the gowns she had been given with more interest than before.
Penelope watched with a knot in her stomach as her daughter fussed over her own hair and kept checking herself in the mirror. She hadn't seen her like this since she had a crush on a kid named Sawyer during her freshman year of high school.
"Are you sure it's Grayson, Cora?" Penelope had asked her while they were still out staring at the ten acres of Cora's east lawn.
"That's the only thing that makes sense," Cora had answered, a dreamy look in her eyes. "He is the one who arranged this space for me," she smiled then. "It certainly wasn't Ambrosia's idea. Or Rayth's," she scoffed.
