Summary
Lucy Chen had grown up in silk and shadow.
Born to a mother who clawed her way from death into power, she'd learned early that America in the 1920s didn't have room for girls like her: immigrant daughters raised in velvet prisons and taught to smile while the world tried to erase them.
Once every year, though, a stranger came to the door — timeless eyes, too-still posture, a voice like winter wrapped in velvet. Tim, the vampire who had saved her mother’s life, and the only person who ever looked at Lucy as though she mattered.
Now it's1936, and Vanessa has plans. Plans that would turn Lucy into a pawn and America into her battlefield. A forced marriage. A contract.
But before the cage closes, Tim returns.
He'd promised to keep her safe once. This time, she asks him to take her away, even if as his blood bag.
From a New York society that didn't welcome her to a hidden vampire manor in Whitby’s haunted woods, Lucy enters a world older than empires and sharper than hunger; into vampire courts, ancient rules, and slow-burn danger.
Freedom has teeth. So does love.
But Vanessa didn’t survive death just to be abandoned. And war — mortal and immortal — is coming.

Summary
Lucy takes a step back, then pauses. “Do you ever leave before dark?”
His eyes lift to hers, sharp and unreadable. “Usually not.”
“Why not?”
He shrugs. “Fewer interruptions.”
“Right.” She gives a small laugh. “You know, I’m starting to think my joke during the interview wasn’t such a joke. Maybe you are a vampire.”
Tim doesn’t laugh.
For a second, she thinks he didn’t hear. But he had; his eyes flicker, quick, like a warning light.
“I mean,” she adds hastily, “you never eat, you never go outside, you don’t like sunlight—it’s kinda a pattern.”
He holds her gaze for a moment longer, then says simply, “Good night, Lucy.”
She feels heat climb up her neck. “Good night.”

Summary
It would be a fair trade, the voice in her mind hisses. Let him drink her bloodied poison. Let Klaus fall as Jenna did. Let him take them all down with him.
Spare him, the voice in her heart murmurs. He gave you a chance to live when he gave you that elixir. Will you not do the same for him?
Bring it back to the start of the circle, her mind shoots back. Let it end as it began. Isn't this where your blood belongs?
The two argue for a two-second eternity; logos versus pathos.
But her heart wins. It will always win, even if it rips itself out in the process.
A warning is whispered over the rim of her fluted glass. A knowing look is passed between familiar strangers. Death-tinted champagne touches his lips but doesn't taint his tongue.
Esther falls that night; killed as she was a millennia ago, heart torn out by the very beast that she birthed
