When Darius Blackwood wakes up in a forest, he’s not the person he remembers being. His heart no longer beats, and strange, primal instincts claw at him. He’s been turned into a vampire—though not just any vampire. He’s a Blood Sovereign, a being with unimaginable power but cursed with an unrelenting hunger. And he has no idea how or why this happened to him. As Darius struggles to understand his new reality, he’s forced to confront the worst of what he’s become. His body craves blood, and every day is a battle to stay in control. Worse yet, his memories are scattered, and with each passing moment, he feels more disconnected from the human life he once knew. His quest for answers becomes a race against the growing darkness inside him, threatening to consume everything he holds dear.
