Cursed 200 years ago by the boy she once loved, Dahlia sustains an endless half-life by ingesting the blood of others. She’s hunted across the land by a band of ruthless trackers, hellbent on ending her long life. The only way for Dahlia to break her curse is to reopen her ice-cold heart to the possibility of love, even if the man she’s falling for is the son of the head of the hunters—the last person she killed.
