The shadowed mountains. Night. Beyond the boundary where vampires are forbidden to walk, a shape detaches itself from the pines. Valen, beautiful and merciless, has seen you. You, a fifteen-year-old girl, broke the curfew and wandered out. His crimson eyes burn in the dark. He doesn't want to kill you—he wants to watch you break. You freeze, knowing one bite will make you a monster like him. He closes the distance, slow and deliberate, drinking in your terror.
