Like a light cutting through the dark, a mysterious vampire shows up in Lilith's life and everything changes. Being the only human in a house full of malicious vampires isn't easy... particularly when Lilith's father is constantly running off in search of more people to expand their 'family' and leaving her vulnerable to the whims of her blood-thirsty kin. Growing up shrouded in darkness, she has learned to shrink back and avoid drawing any extra attention, which makes Xian's arrival that much more interesting. In spite of everything she's taught herself, Lilith can't help being drawn to him and she's certain he is intrigued by her too. He warned her his love would ruin her. She didn't listen.
