Imagine an earth just a bit different from ours. In this world normals unknowingly share the planet with all manner of beings, including vampyres, most of whom rely on bagged blood, which is supplemented by the blood of sabors, valued individuals whose blood contains an element necessary for the survival of the species. Tyrell Small has always felt different. He just never knew how different. On his sixteenth birthday, his father reveals Ty is one such sabor, with the birthmark to prove it. Upon learning he’ll be required to feed vampyres, Ty decides he’s not having any of that. He’ll run away and make his own destiny. Slipping out his second story bedroom window, he finds Adam Dasani, the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen, waiting for him on the roof. Adam is reluctant to distress the young sabor about to slide down the drainpipe, but he’s one of the vampyres Ty will one day feed. Equerry to the vampyre king, Adam had been given the task of guarding Ty on the day he was born.

It will be up to Adam to keep Ty safe, not only from those rogue vampyres but from others who have plans of their own for him.

However, will something Adam inadvertently said give Ty a way to live the life he wants and keep those he loves -- including Adam -- out of danger?

But hunger gnawed at his gut, and he had no time to delight in that realization. He went out to feed for the first time. Terese had requested he wait for her, but she was simply a woman, and now that he was a vampyre, he was her superior in every way. He came across a maid servant, and his nostrils flared. The odor of sex clung to her, but most intriguingly, he could scent the blood that flowed through her veins.


She went willingly when he caught her arm and drew her into an empty chamber. That changed when his fangs extended, and her fear was more pleasurable than the blood he sipped from her.


Feeling all-powerful, he’d gone to Terese to learn when he would become rege
