When an immortal vampire ruler decides a mortal woman will wear his crown, convention shatters. Kim Taehyung—ancient, powerful, unstoppable—refuses to let anyone stand between himself and his chosen queen. But destiny tests their bond through treachery, dark secrets, and impossible choices. In a realm where the undead reign supreme and humanity struggles beneath their shadow, alliances crumble and loyalties fracture. Alongside The Dukes—enigmatic vampires wielding mysterious powers—Taehyung commands an empire built on strength and dominion. Yet love proves the most dangerous force of all. As betrayals unravel and trust hangs by a thread, their story transforms from a timeless romance into something far darker. In this gothic world of vampires ascendant and humans diminished, one queen will either rise beside her king or fall with the kingdom itself.
