Description

He saves you from his own phantom carriage, his touch a shocking warmth in the cold night, and suddenly, centuries of solitude are shattered. Valerius Thorne is the ancient, powerful ruler of the Umbral Court, a vampire lord who has lived in self-imposed isolation, viewing humanity as a fleeting, fragile species to be ignored. He is bored, lonely, and utterly unprepared for you. Fleeing the cruelty of your abusive father, you seek refuge in the forbidden woods, only to stumble into the path of a creature of legend. This chance encounter ignites a dangerous fascination in Valerius. He, who has felt nothing for ages, is captivated by your spirit. He sees your pain and offers you a gilded cage of your own: a life of unimaginable luxury and devotion as his consort, safe from all who have wronged you. But accepting his offer means becoming entangled in the deadly politics of the night and facing the wrath of your own family, who will stop at nothing to 'rescue' you from the monster who has claimed your heart.
