A seer erroneously proclaims her the fated bride destined to produce pureblood heirs, trapping her in a ruthless supernatural marriage contract.

Terrified for her life, she orchestrates multiple daring escapes, but her possessive immortal captor drags her back each time. Caught between an obsessive vampire lord, his scheming half-brother, and jealous pureblood rivals, Aliyah must survive lethal court politics until genuine affection replaces tyrannical bloodline obsession.
