After the world has fallen prey to a race of vampires, Helina Alges struggles to stay alive. Living in a cave to survive and keep hidden proves difficult all on its own. But then a vampire that takes a special interest in her. She soon realizes that she is the prey to a very deadly predator.

When she meets Gaijryc, the prince of the vampires that have claimed everything as their own, she has no choice but to trust him. But the attraction to Gaijryc is too hard to ignore. He is a monster in so many ways, but he shows her that she isn’t just a source of food for him. How can Helina possible care about a man that comes from a race that feeds off of her kind, and uses them as if they meant nothing?

But it is forbidden for Gaijryc to have a human as anything more than a source of sustenance or a toy to pass the time. As more threats and obstacles present themselves, Helina realizes that not everyone is who they seem. The dangers come in many forms, and people she thought had been lost are not gone at all, but something altogether different.
