Violet Lee is the only living witness to a pre‑dawn mass murder in London’s Trafalgar Square. Before she can alert the authorities, she is seized by the killers, who are revealed to be vampires. Captured, Violet becomes a pawn in a tense political game between humans and a powerful vampire society.
In the years that follow, Violet struggles to reconcile her human instincts with the complex politics of the vampiric elite. Her growing doubts are compounded when she falls for a vampire prince, whose loyalties blur the lines between friend and foe.
