Rachel Monroe works the grueling graveyard shift in a bustling city hospital, dedicated to saving lives without asking questions. Her routine shatters during a stormy night when she finds a collapsed, pulseless man on an empty stretch of highway and resuscitates him. Instead of receiving gratitude, Rachel is seized by shadowy guardians and dragged into an ancient mountain fortress ruled by creatures of the night.
Her patient is Lucian Dracula, the sovereign of vampires, who demands Rachel become his queen to anchor his fraying kingdom. Confined within Gothic walls and surrounded by lethal courtiers, Rachel plots a desperate bid for freedom. As political assassinations rock the coven, she must decipher whether Lucian is a merciless monster or her sole protector.
