Elowen Virelle thought gaining control of her magic would finally bring peace.
Instead, it unlocked a past that refuses to stay buried.
When a brutal vampire attack erupts during Detroit's most crowded festival, Elowen barely survives—and what she discovers afterward is far worse than the violence. The vampires weren't hunting.
They were infected.
Now, the same ancient blood sickness—once thought wiped from existence—is spreading through humans and immortals alike. Panic ignites. Alliances fracture. And in the chaos, two dangerous men step into her life.
One claims he can save the city.
The other claims he once owned her heart.
Rafael Draven is cold, calculating, and impossibly controlled—a vampire who offers answers but hides motives behind every word.
Dominic Ardent is magnetic, arrogant, and disturbingly familiar. He insists Elowen belonged to him once… and that she chose to forget.
Elowen doesn't believe him.
She can't.
But her magic is waking something deeper. Memories she never lived. Emotions she can't explain. Desires that feel like echoes of another life.
As the infection spreads and bodies begin to fall, Elowen must uncover the truth before the city tears itself apart.
Because the closer she gets to the truth…
…the more it becomes clear that she isn't just part of the story.
She may be the reason it began.
