For nearly nineteen hundred years darkness has ruled King's world. A powerful, mysterious vampire, King has cared for nothing and no one. Centuries’ worth of brutal memories make him unfit to love another. Unable to fully rejoin society he has kept to the shadows; his one goal to forget and be forgotten. Until a debt owed pulls him fang first into a team of dark warriors. Blood-sworn to be the protective force to walk the paranormal underbelly of Madrid, King is known among the men of Haven as brutal, untouchable. Cold. And Haven's most desired playboy. Until fiery, green-eyed Breene. Duty bound by friendship to his team leader's mate, King broke the one rule that will end his life—he turned her.

Now death is coming and it's only a matter of time before his past finishes the job. If his newly turned human doesn't kill him first.

Waking up vampire after twenty-two years as human took some getting used to. Stepping into the underworld of Haven and cracking skulls…not so much. Born to issue justice to the bad guys, Breene won't let anyone stand in her way. Not even the high and mighty King himself. Her torturer, her maker… her mate. Even if he denies it. Through black magic and cursed blood, Breene and King are tasked with hunting down the one responsible for brewing humans with magic for vampire consumption. Breene wants one other thing—prove she isn't the mistake King makes her out to be.

When King's past works hard to prove him right and the streets of Madrid overflow with the corpses of brewed humans, Breene will force King to face his darkest hungers. Because if she can’t, they will be lost to the shadows hell bent on killing them both.
