Vampires rule from luxurious estates, humans serve as resources, and wereanimals exist somewhere in between. The natural order, the nobility calls it—unchangeable and absolute. Until now. Meet Kieran, the unprecedented offspring of Baron Cassian and his wereanimal mate Nara. With silver-white hair and eyes that shift between violet and gold, his very existence challenges vampire society''''s foundation. Raised in protective isolation, he now faces his greatest challenge: emerging into a world with no category for him. Valentina, daughter of traditionalist Archduke Orlov, has been groomed since birth to make a political marriage that will strengthen her family''''s position.

As Valentina witnesses Kieran''''s dignity in the face of prejudice, she begins questioning the rigid classifications that have defined her world. Their growing connection—intellectual, then emotional—becomes a ticking time bomb in vampire society''''s carefully ordered hierarchy.
