About this ebook

In a shadowed, gaslit Paris where vampires exist in uneasy truce with humanity, the ancient vampire saint Aurel is bound by sacred law: once per century, he may grant one mortal absolution—complete forgiveness of all sins and the gift of immortality. This century, the chosen is Camille Deneuve, a fierce, cunning pickpocket who rose from the slums to lead a bloody rebellion against the city’s vampire aristocracy. When Aurel appears before her on the eve of her execution, offering eternal life in exchange for becoming his eternal companion, Camille accepts, believing she has outwitted death itself.

But absolution is not freedom. Camille awakens immortal yet bound by blood-oath to Aurel, a being older than nations who speaks in riddles and watches her with centuries of hunger in his eyes. The more she learns of him, the more she realizes the “random” selection was never random. Aurel has orchestrated every tragedy of her life—her parents’ murder, her brother’s disappearance, the rebellion itself—so that she would grow into the exact soul he lost a thousand years ago: the reincarnation of his first and only love, long destroyed by the same sacred laws that now chain him.

Camille must now decide whether to embrace the eternity written for her or burn the entire vampiric covenant to ash, even if it means destroying the one creature who has ever truly seen her. Love and damnation intertwine as the rebel discovers that the greatest sin might not be rebellion, but surrender.
