Lester the Vampire made a deal with his cure Evelyn: marry him, save his life. Then a conspiracy tore them apart. Seven years later, he finds her again -- blind, with a daughter who has his eyes, and a hatred for him. When she finally sees his face... it nearly kills her. Saving her costs him his blood, his body, and every year he'd ever grown.

"After she abandoned her duty, I married the ruthless Vampire King in her place. For six years, I protected his kingdom and endured everything, only to hear: “You are just her replacement.” When the true queen returned, I no longer fought for his love. I burned my crown, severed the Blood Bond, and walked away from a throne that was never truly mine. This time, no one could ever treat me as a substitute again."
