One drop for a life. One contract for eternity. I entered the Duke's mansion to pay a debt. I ignored the stories of missing servants. But the Duke is no mere noble. He is a predator. He is starving. And he wants the one thing I can't afford to give: my blood. To him, I am not a maid. I am a cure. I am the only thing that stops the darkness in his soul. It is a hunger that has lasted centuries. His touch burns my skin.
His commands trap me like a cage. I am caught in a lethal game. I am terrified of him. Yet, my body betrays me. My skin aches for his mark. I have one choice. I can run from the monster. Or I can surrender to the Duke. It doesn't matter. He has already decided I am his. In his mansion, death has never tasted this sweet.
