Summary
Henry’s life was supposed to be simple - defined by the heat of the Skalitz forge. Then, invaders turned his world to ash. Fuelled by vengeance, he chased his parents' killers to death’s door, collapsing into the freezing mud.
But death refused him. A dark bargain offered a way to defy the grave, and Henry took it with his final breath, blind to the cost. When the fever broke, he was no longer human. Curse with bloodshot eyes, fangs, and a ravenous hunger for blood, he had to learn to wear a human mask just to survive.
Now, burying his predatory nature beneath a guardsman’s iron, Henry hides in Rattay, under the careful eye of the Lord Hans Capon.
On the surface, Hans is everything Henry detests - an arrogant noble behind velvet and sharp insults. Yet, forced proximity forces Henry’s dark instincts to see through the armor. Behind the haughty laughter lies a soul as isolated and broken as his own.
Surrounded by the brutality of war and trapped by his own deep flaws, Henry soon realizes revenge is no longer the most volatile thing keeping his dead heart alive.
