In a time long past, a pureblood vampire prince was born-a rare and coveted being. From his first breath, he was showered with love and riches, his parents' adoration boundless. Yet, as the years passed, it became clear that the prince was not the serene creature of the night his lineage had foretold. His noble spirit danced on the edge of peril, and his impulsive defiance grew too wild for even the most patient hearts. Abandoned to his own devices, his path became a descent into shadow. Centuries later, war ravaged the land and the prince teetered on the brink of ruin. Desperate to reclaim his lost glory, he was forced into a dark pact-a marriage with a powerful witch, once his sworn enemy. Bound by fate and necessity, she became his reluctant bride and only hope. But as the prince battles the shadows, he must also confront the storm within his own heart.
