Ravenshade’s night air hung heavy with a wrongness, the golden lampposts failing to pierce the shadows where unseen eyes watched. Legends of bloodless bodies and the Rutherford name haunted every street. Then, Jesse appeared. Dressed in stark black against the colorful school hallway, his pale, tired face and silver rings marked him as something other. His dark eyes locked onto hers with the weight of a century, recognizing a face he had watched die in 1912. Seventeen years old, human, and alive—she was the impossible return of his lost love. For a vampire who had felt nothing for decades, this moment was not frightening, but devastating. He was trapped by a love that defied his nature, unaware that worse monsters were already scenting her blood.
