For four centuries, vampire Thorne Dupont has lived as a Vessel—an immortal shaped by grief and controlled by the Hidden Order. But everything fractures when he meets Tavany Reyes, a girl whose soul echoes the wife he lost and whose body holds an impossible power. A Quintabrid born of five supernatural bloodlines, Tavany awakens something in Thorne the Order has spent centuries suppressing. They wanted his grief to break him. Instead, her touch ignites him. As their bond deepens, the Order prepares to harvest the god they’ve engineered—unless Thorne and Tavany choose each other first.
