Eva dies in absolute agony inside a vampire dungeon after her treacherous stepsister Vivian frames her during their clan's sacred bloodline trial. Granted a miraculous second chance at life, she awakens on the very morning of the selection ceremony and firmly refuses the deceptive vampire marriage contract entirely.
Instead, Eva boldly selects Alistair, an injured slave whom everyone scorns, completely unaware he is the cursed Lycan Sovereign concealing his royal identity. Standing faithfully beside him against cruel noble hazing and lethal trials, she taps into forbidden divine springs to restore his crown and conquer their shared aristocratic oppressors.
