My name is Ren Volkom, and I’m… a vampire! Or at least that’s what I thought until the night that completely upended my life. The truth? It’s even more shocking. A unique crystal, embedded in my heart since birth, grants me incredible power and extraordinary strength—but at a steep cost.

I’m not the only one born with this crystal. Others share this trait, and the secret services call us ‘Crystalbringers’—they’re certainly not brimming with creativity, are they?

But life as a Crystalbringer is no fairy tale. Ruthless criminal organizations and global military forces are desperate to claim our power—and they’ll stop at nothing to get it.

Overnight, I’m plunged into a world of brutal survival and, honestly, some wildly steamy situations—maybe too many? There’s also room for deeper, more introspective moments and the usual struggles of being a teenager—like getting rejected by your crush, which, let’s face it, stings more than a near-death experience.

<p>The city lights outside reflect on the wall of Clare's room, tracing the shadow of the heavy iron bar that locks the French door. It's late at night, and my mind is such a chaotic mess that even an elephant tranquilizer wouldn't knock me out. How could I sleep, anyway? Just imagine: me, a twenty-year-old guy, tasked with planning, all on my own, how to kill an international star in a matter of days. It's so ridiculous it wouldn't even pass for a plot in a bad movie.</p>
