 This is a classic love story with a vampire spin. You won't find the word 'vampire' anywhere in the book. The blood drinkers don't have any super strength, but they are almost immortal and hate sunlight. 
 There is a rebellion brewing on the land. The Vidari are tired of feeling oppressed, poor, and hungry due to the Athonite. 
 Prince Graeme of the Athonites is cursed with an unquenchable thirst, but finds his salvation in Seri, a very prideful Vidari. 
 Seri, however, promised to marry Rilen. As Rilen is fighting for the rebellion, he urges Seri to marry the prince for the cause and act as a spy. Seri's heart is torn in two. Does she act as a spy? Or does she betray her people? 
 There are some light sex scenes and I enjoyed every moment of it! BITE ME!
