As a vampire in Atlantis, Niko is part of a despised minority and must wear a visible mark to identify his nature. When he pulls Atlantean priestess Laila from a horrific temple fire, he breaks so many taboos they must flee those who will not tolerate contact between his kind and hers.
At first frightened of the handsome vampire, Laila can’t resist his dark charisma. She will risk any danger to be with Niko. But there is more to the Atlantean pursuit than fear of blood drinkers. A powerful enemy wants Laila dead and will destroy any who aid her.
