Oraya is discovered as a toddler amid the remains of Salinae, a town ravaged by Rishan rebels, by the Hiaj Nightborn King, Vincent. The two House of Night clans, the Rishan and Hiaj vampires, fight for control of the territory. Vincent adopts Oraya as his human daughter after recognizing a piece of himself in her. He respects her first skepticism but assures her that he is the one person she can trust not to hurt her. As she grows older, Oraya begins to feel trapped and begins to investigate her human relatives. Vincent is unable to find any surviving members because invading Rishan territory would be considered an act of war; nevertheless, he assures her that if she wins the centennial Kejari tournament, she may petition the vampire goddess, Nyaxia, for enough power to conduct the search herself. At the age of 16, Oraya falls in love with a young vampire guy who has recently been Turned. When she has intercourse with him for the first time, his passion turns to bloodlust, and he feeds on her and nearly kills her. Vincent forces Oraya to kill her first love as punishment for defying his commands not to trust anybody but him. Following that, in order to escape her nightmares over killing her boyfriend, Oraya decides to hunt vampires at night.

Vertraue keinem, gib niemals auf und hüte immer – immer – dein Herz! Du bist Beute in einer Welt von Raubtieren. Jeden Tag muss Oraya ums Überleben kämpfen. Als adoptierte menschliche Tochter des Vampirkönigs lebt sie in einer Welt, die darauf ausgerichtet ist, sie zu töten. Ihre einzige Chance, jemals mehr als nur Beute zu sein, ist die Teilnahme am Kejari: ein legendäres Turnier, das von Nyaxia veranstaltet wird – der Göttin des Todes. Damit Oraya überhaupt den Hauch einer Chance hat, muss sie ein Bündnis mit ihrem größten Gegner eingehen: Raihn. Alles an ihm ist gefährlich. Zum Töten geboren ist er skrupellos und dazu auch noch ein Feind ihres Vaters. Doch am meisten Angst macht Oraya nicht das Kejari oder die mögliche Niederlage oder der Tod, sondern dass sie sich auf seltsame Weise zu Raihn hingezogen fühlt. Als wäre das nicht genug, braut sich – wie ein düstere Vorahnung - ein Sturm zusammen und erschüttert alles, was Oraya über ihre Heimat zu wissen glaubte. Und Raihn versteht sie vielleicht besser als jeder andere. Doch die immer stärker werdende Anziehungskraft könnte ihr Untergang sein, in einem Königreich, in dem nichts tödlicher ist als Vertrauen und Liebe.
