A brutal war between the Seraphel and the Duskfang clans gave blood to the street and ash to the sky. Once the war had ended, one of the survivors of the Duskfang fled into Seville's shadows to spend its days in quiet obscurity as just a plain woman. Secrets, however, do not remain buried for long. Her secret affair with a wealthy married man produced a son—a son doomed to inherit the vicious curse of the Duskfang. A decade on, that lad has transformed into a ruthless young mogul with influence in boardrooms and the dark world of magic. His crimson eyes testify to the beast that lurks inside him, and his every choice brings him ever closer to that end his mother would rather never find. The only way of stopping him from becoming a full-fledged Duskfang is through marriage. But to whom would his hand be given? A woman who can shatter that curse, or one that would bring war upon the world once more? The union that might save him might also ruin the precarious balance of power between clans. And love in Seville is just as lethal as blood.
