Story Notes

Summary

In the isolated Alpine town of Oakhaven, peace has been maintained for centuries through a terrifying tradition: every ten years, a young woman is offered as a blood tribute to the immortal ruler of Castle Von Raven. When her younger sister falls gravely ill, twenty-three-year-old Hazel Monroe volunteers to take her place, fully expecting to die. Instead of finding a mindless monster, Hazel meets Countess Lenore Von Raven, the feared "Ice Countess"—a four-hundred-year-old vampire whose heart was frozen by betrayal and centuries of loneliness. Unlike every tribute before her, Hazel refuses to live in fear. Her compassion, courage, and unwavering kindness slowly break through Lenore's carefully guarded walls. As a brutal winter isolates the castle, an undeniable attraction grows between the mortal captive and the immortal countess. But their fragile bond is threatened by ruthless vampire councils, ancient hunters, political conspiracies, and a centuries-old betrayal that could destroy them both. To save the woman she loves, Lenore must challenge the immortal world itself, while Hazel must decide whether love is worth sacrificing her mortal life. Together they will discover that the strongest heart is not the immortal one—but the underestimated heart that refuses to stop loving.
