Ten years ago, after the discovery and encampment of their species, vampires sought revenge. Assuming high governmental roles and combining the fifty states into twenty-five blood banking machines, mortals are now set to comply by donating blood weekly and even worse feats, like participating in the yearly vampire competition, a select time when vampires are permitted to hunt recruits. Vivian Rain is astounded to discover her boyfriend's enlistment as the leader in an army of vampire hunters, though this isn’t what most uproots It’s new neighbor Jorian Knight, an elitist who's worked himself to a sterling rhodium status in the secondary world of vampires, found through his lair’s mystifying portal door. But the nature of his excellence — and his affinity for Vivian — lies in a secret that’s been kept from him for centuries, one he hasn’t even shaved the surface of unfurling. As Vivian and Jory team up to salvage what’s left of their species, even darker threats haunt them. When the vampire competition stumbles around, Vivian finds herself a victim and Jory a hunter. Will he be able to defy his elders’ restraints to save her, or will she encounter an unexpected turn of events in the grounds?
