In the bustling city of Arcanum, where shadows conceal ancient secrets, a powerful vampire named Adrian rules the night. Feared for his unmatched strength and ruthless demeanor, he's a figure of awe and terror among humans and supernatural beings alike. But beneath his rugged, intimidating exterior lies a heart that beats only for one person—Sab, a spirited and kind-hearted human who has unknowingly captured his immortal soul. Sab's world is turned upside down when she becomes entangled in the dangerous underworld Adrian inhabits. While he is brutal and merciless to anyone who dares threaten his domain, he melts into a lovesick fool around her. To her, he's gentle, doting, and impossibly charming, willing to move heaven and earth to see her smile. As dark forces conspire against Sab, targeting her to bring Adrian to his knees, he becomes her fierce protector. Through countless battles and challenges, he shields her from harm, even if it means exposing his vulnerabilities. The stakes rise as the line between their two worlds blurs, and they must navigate a love that could destroy or redeem them both.
