Selene Valcrest, an elite huntress, belonging to the revered Order of Lumina, has dedicated her life towards the extermination of vampires. Currently, she holds the belief that her quest entails protecting mankind from the seductive embrace of darkness. However, her ideology is bound to heavily shift once she encounters Lucian Draven, who happens to be an exiled mysterious vampire prince. His presence among the living is powerful enough to shatter Selene’s deepest and darkest restrictions. 

There exists an ancient prophecy wherein Selene and Lucian are linked together on an unforeseen bond that neither seem willing to sever. With the onset of war within the various clans of vampires and the Order, Selene is placed in a position unlike any other. Now, she has the option to either comply with the duty that has governed her life or give into her instincts towards Lucian who represents the destruction of the entire world as she knows it. 

Lucian is Not any run-of-the-mill vampire. He emerges from a lineage of the first vampires, the Primordials, making him capable of bringing either dark salvation or eternal despair. As adversaries close onto Selene, she and Lucian must put everything on the line to fight their inner demons while trying their hardest to escape from the dark clutches of betrayal.

Eclipse Love

Vale stiffened the moment Selene's teeth sank into his skin.

It was wild. Defiant. A declaration of war.

She bit down hard, tasting the metallic tang of his blood.

A sharp hiss escaped Vale's lips, but he didn't push her away.

Instead—he laughed.

Selene pulled back, wiping the blood from her lips, her breath ragged.

"That," Vale murmured, touching his jaw where her bite had left a mark, "was unexpected."

Selene's heart thundered, but she held his gaze, refusing to back down.

"Get used to it," she spat. "Because if you think I'll bow to you, you're even more pathetic than I thought."

Vale's golden eyes glowed, but there was something else behind them now—something dangerous.

And for the first time since she had arrived, Selene saw something she hadn't expected.

He wasn't entirely in control.

The Poisoned Blood

The moment Selene bit him, something shifted.

Vale staggered back, his breath shaky.

His hand trembled where her teeth had broken his skin.

He lifted his fingers, staring at the dark red blood staining them.

His eyes narrowed.

This wasn't normal.

She shouldn't have been able to hurt him.

But his body—his power—it was reacting as if she had just poisoned him.

His magic burned under his skin, like it was trying to fight something off.

And realization struck her.

"It's not just my magic, is it?" she whispered. "It's my blood."

Vale's breathing deepened.

Selene took a slow step closer, her pulse quickening.

"Whatever you think I am," she said carefully, "whatever power you believe I hold—it's changing you too."

His magic was unraveling.

And for the first time in centuries—he wasn't sure why.

Lucian's Awakening

Far from Vale's domain, Lucian felt it.

A shockwave. A ripple through the fabric of the bond that still tied him to Selene.

His head snapped up, eyes widening.

Something had just changed.

His entire body tensed.

A deep, primal instinct was roaring inside him.

She was fighting.

And something inside her had just unlocked.

Lucian took a slow, steady breath.

The power inside him had been growing unstable ever since she was taken.

Darius stepped forward. "Lucian—"

Because the bond between him and Selene wasn't just a bond anymore.

A direct link to wherever she was.

And for the first time, he saw it.

Not with his eyes. Not with his body.

But with his soul.

The golden realm.The pulsing light.The way Selene stood, defiant, against Vale.

She had just poisoned him.

With something deeper.

With her very existence.

Lucian's entire body ignited.

Time to bring her back.

Vale's golden eyes flickered with uncertainty.

And she knew she had one chance.

One moment to turn this in her favor.

She took a deep breath, her voice sharp as a blade.

"You think I'm yours," she whispered. "That I belong to you."

Vale's jaw tightened.

"But that's where you're wrong," Selene continued. "Because you—"

She stepped closer, her blood still on his lips.

The air crackled between them.

Vale didn't move.

Because deep down—he felt it too.

Selene tilted her head, her heart pounding.

"If you think you can control me," she whispered, "then you better be ready for the consequences."

A shockwave tore through the golden realm.

The floor shook. The sky split.

And somewhere, far beyond the shimmering walls—

A roar echoed through the void.

Lucian was coming.

nothing would stop him.
