A young woman confined in a magical prison must make a deal with the most dangerous prisoner inside if she hopes to escape in this first book in a spellbinding new vampire romantasy series perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and Shield of Sparrows.

Imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit, Samara is bullied by guards and tormented by the screams of her fellow prisoners. She’s resigned herself to enduring her fifteen-year term…until she learns the freedom she’s been promised is nothing but a cruel lie.

Now Samara is faced with a brutal choice: die within the cold walls of Castle Greymere or do the unthinkable and escape. But no one leaves Greymere alive. So to break out, she’ll need help from one of the undead.

Raphael is the worst kind of monster: a vampire with a thirst for blood—and the same breed that killed her mother. He’s also unspeakably powerful, his supernatural strength tamed only by the enchanted cuffs forced on him. Most importantly, he is Samara’s only chance at a life outside the prison walls.

The deal is simple: Samara unlocks his shackles, and Raphael helps her escape. But he never promised to let her go once they flee the castle…

This dangerously alluring fantasy romance is perfect for readers who love: a searing slow burn, morally gray heroes who fall first and hard, the touch her and die trope, the only one horse trope, and heroines who find their own strength.
