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.

After Kat graciously brought some tea and food that was actually cooked, Cora ate a little bit but she couldn't fall asleep. She couldn't understand how something like that had happened.
"It was so sudden. It doesn't make any sense, mom," she frowned into the hot drink in her hands, watching the steam rise from the cup as she sat huddled on the bed with her mother next to her.
"Do you think it was like that for Zane when his heart arrested? Was he in that much pain? And he couldn't cry out? He couldn't even tell me?" Her bottom lip trembled as she considered the possibility out loud.
"Goddess," Penelope breathed. What an awful thing to imagine. She wanted to tell her daughter that it was doubtful, but then what alternative did she have to offer as explanation? She couldn't tell her about the lycan… not now. Not yet.
