In the deep gloom of the forest's edge, Lysander Emberwood watches. Four hundred and thirty-one years old, yet trapped in the guise of an eighteen-year-old, his alpha vampire aura turns the night air frigid. He does not drink blood, but consumes human flesh, a curse twisted into a blessing by forgotten magic. Wolves and bats answer to his silent command. His servant, Kaelen—appearing twenty-one—approaches with bowed head, as the hidden prince veils his ancestral power beneath the modern dark.
