Cursed to kill with the barest touch, I’ve spent my life hiding from the kingdom’s ruthless magic hunters—until their enigmatic leader, Maelor, discovers my secret. Captured and thrown into a deadly competition where only the god’s mercy can spare me, I soon learn Maelor is no ordinary enemy but a dangerously alluring vampire, immune to my lethal gift. Bound by a fierce attraction neither of us can resist, I must decide whether this beautiful monster is my only chance at survival—or the downfall that seals my fate.
