In the Principality of Noctis Bloodmoon, werewolves and vampires have coexisted under the “Pact of Eternal Silence” for three hundred years.
Layla, daughter of the Grayridge clan, was pledged by her father to the Scarlet Night Court at the age of three. She thought she was being sent to live with another family.
Twenty years later, she tasted the price of her blood between her younger sister’s teeth, saw hunger in her lover’s eyes, and found silver blood on a handkerchief.
The Bell of the Silent Night is about to toll. The countdown is thirty days. She must choose between saving her sister and saving herself, and take the bite.
This is a love story without a voice: she bites through her tongue so she will never call his name again.
