Description:

She wakes in chains, stripped not only of her freedom but of her name. The darkness is sharper than it should be, every scent intoxicating, every sound painfully clear. Hunger coils inside her, vast and merciless, and when relief finally comes, it arrives in a rush of ecstasy that shatters what little remains of her humanity. As Ariane struggles to piece together fragments of memory, she finds herself trapped between devotion and defiance, drawn irresistibly to a master whose presence bends her will and awakens something monstrous within her. In a world ruled by ancient predators and colder ambitions, she must confront what she has become. This is a tale of vampires as they are meant to be: powerful yet bound by hidden laws, capable of love and cruelty in equal measure, forever torn between the remnants of who they were and the beast that now defines them.
