In dystopian New York City, post All Death, Elias Masters, the powerful and ruthless vampire king, finds his life forever altered when he captures Noraya Markum—a drug lord’s daughter and gifted cellist. After her blood transports him to Heaven during a failed attempt to end her life, Elias is torn between his unnerving desire for Noraya and his need for vengeance against her father, Cameron Markum.

Committed to avenging the deaths of his friends, who Cameron poisoned, Elias decides to spare Noraya momentarily. She promises to help Elias defeat her father in exchange for her autistic brother’s safety. Once her brother, Orion is out of the building, Elias stages a bloody massacre, destroying Noraya’s home. Elias then shackles Noraya to the wall of his bedroom intent on exploiting her blood, which allows vampires to visit Heaven; a realm they’ve been denied.

While Elias struggles with his burgeoning attraction for Noraya, the only woman who has ever enchanted him, he faces a deep inner conflict when he is betrayed and she’s almost killed. Battling with his sexuality and long-held convictions, Elias starts to evolve and Alejandro, his lover for the last one hundred years, likes it. After confessing that he sees something extraordinary in the beautiful virtuoso cellist, Alejandro convinces Elias to let her live. Elias agrees to explore his feelings for both of them but refuses to commit to saving Noraya’s life in the long term.
