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.

When she has intercourse with him for the first time, his passion turns to bloodlust, and he feeds on her and nearly kills her.
