Her Body as Payment to the Vampire Lord

He bought my debt. He owns my body. And now, he wants my soul.

Fifty thousand marks. That was the price of my freedom.

When my father died, he left me nothing but a mountain of gambling debt and a terrifying deadline: pay up by midnight, or the Enforcers would take my little sister as collateral.

I had no money. I had no options.

So I walked into the Obsidian Spire and did the unthinkable. I invoked the Law of Tithe.

I offered myself to Julian Valerius.

The Vampire Lord of Valoria is a monster in a bespoke suit. He is ancient, cruel, and lethally beautiful. He didn't want my money. He wanted to own me.

For one year, I am his property. I am to live in his house, serve his House, and warm his bed.

I expected fear. I expected pain.

I didn't expect him.

Julian is a predator, yes. But when his enemies come for me—when the city tries to swallow me whole—he doesn't feed me to the wolves.

He slaughters them.

Now, the contract is burning, and the line between hatred and hunger is blurring. I entered his world to save my sister, but I might lose myself to the monster who calls me mine.

He warned me to run.

But how can I run when he's the only thing keeping me alive?
