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.

«I'm not sure if I should feel happy or worried about how much you insisted with Brianne this afternoon just so we could patrol alone,» Rebecca says hesitantly.

Her parents usually don't let her go out late at night because of her age. But today, she told them she was staying over at a friend's house. Her father, strict and overly protective, finally gave in.

Because we're inexperienced, Brianne assigned us to the safest and quietest part of the city: the historic district. This time of year, it's breathtaking. Christmas lights are everywhere, trees are covered in colorful ornaments, and bright garlands saying "Merry Christmas" hang between the streetlamps, even though Christmas ended a while ago. A thin layer of snow covers the cobblestone streets, making it feel like a scene from a movie. In short, the perfect setting for a romantic date. And for what I wanted to discuss with her, I couldn't have asked for more. Not for anything indecent, of course. Just... work.
