What Vespera doesn’t know is that this masquerade is hosted by none other than a dark and captivating vampire king, Theodore Ravenwick, who has been searching for centuries for his fated mate.
As the masquerade’s magic unfolds, Vespera is drawn deeper into Theo’s world—a world of immortal secrets, destiny, and undeniable chemistry.
