Three years ago, Clara made the agonizing choice to push her dying husband Julian away in a cold rainstorm, deliberately playing the heartless deserter to force him to accept an experimental occult transfusion that saved his life. She believed she had sentenced herself to a lifetime of quiet mourning. Today, fleeing human pursuers into the subterranean catacombs of the Underground Blood City, she is dragged directly before its supreme sovereign: Julian, now an immortal vampire kingpin.
Blinded by years of bitter hatred and convinced she abandoned him for greed, Julian traps Clara in his gothic palace, binding her with an ancient blood oath. Clara endures his cruel interrogations in silence, refusing to explain her past sacrifice. But as rival vampire covens launch a deadly coup, Julian uncovers the medical truth of her departure, plunging into desperate remorse for persecuting his savior.
