Some vampires crave blood. He craves absolution.
He’s a vampire who feeds from a priest and hides in a crypt, full of guilt.
She is a woman who lost everything — but refuses to lose herself.
In the mountains of Montenegro, Luka has spent fifty years punishing himself for a single, catastrophic mistake. He believes he is beyond redemption.
Then Claire, sheltering from a storm while hiking, walks into his darkness and sees him.
Not the monster.
Not the hunger.
But his soul.
