Tobias Osian was turned into a vampire in 1576 when Vladimir Damianos, head of Britain’s strongest vampire family, left him alive after a night of debauched killing. Ever since, Tobias has been consumed by plans for revenge against the man who stole his mortality and his family.
Posing as a human, he hatches a plan to infiltrate the Damianos family in order to get to Vladimir. What Tobias does not plan for is Alexander Damianos, Vladimir’s eldest son. Wanting to escape his family’s expectations, Alexander has rebelled against his father, pretending instead to be a human, and becoming a professor at Oxford.
When the two meet, Alexander is instantly enamoured with the “mortal” librarian Tobias. Tobias, on the other hand, sees Alexander as a means to an end. Get into bed with the young Damianos, and he might finally get the closure he seeks.
But when a string of attacks brings them closer together, Tobias must decide what means more to him: vengeance, or his growing attraction to Alexander?
