Sylvia Xavier was born to lead the realm's premier vampire lineage until an envious domestic servant utilized dark occult sorcery to sever Sylvia's arm, frame her for treason, and steal her ancestral identity. Cast out into the cold streets as a mutilated pariah, Sylvia's only path to survival lies in marrying Duke Nicholas.
High society mocks Nicholas as an unhinged lunatic locked away in a gloomy citadel, but Sylvia soon realizes his madness is a brilliant facade concealing terrifying dark powers. Equipping Sylvia with an enchanted mechanical prosthetic, Nicholas forms a lethal partnership with his bride to systematically butcher the traitors who ruined her lineage.
