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.

Edward, Jasmine, and Clarissa stand twenty meters away, while my teammates have retreated beyond the chain-link fence marking the field's boundary.

«You're bold to challenge all three of us. Or just plain stupid?» Edward comments with his usual haughty tone. «But I'm in a particularly good mood today, so I won't hurt you. Well, not too much.» He steps back, motioning for Jasmine—the South American girl—to follow suit. «Clarissa will be more than enough to wipe that smug grin off your face.»

«Do as you wish,» I reply coldly, my voice devoid of emotion.

Clarissa, the girl with long blonde curls, shrugs off her shocking pink fur coat and passes it to Jasmine. Beneath it, she's dressed in a white sweater and tight jeans.

«Make it quick; we've got an aperitif this afternoon,» Edward says with absolute confidence, as though her task is a mere formality.
