Publisher's Synopsis
In a dystopian world ruled by bloodthirsty vampire overlords, young women are ripped from their homes to become Blood Brides - forced into gilded servitude in lavish yet twisted manors.
Defiant Helena Swanson is the latest captive inducted into this gilded cage. She refuses to surrender her humanity and be broken by their torment. But Helena carries a secret that steadily saps her strength as the months pass. Under the cold gaze of the manor's cruel enforcer, Helena endures unimaginable horrors along with fellow captives Raven, Violet, and their mentor Genevieve. They find sisterhood in their shared plight, whispering of impossible dreams in the darkness...
When revolution ignites, Helena fights for freedom with ferocity despite her fading resilience. For a brief moment, she finds refuge and almost grasps happiness again. But the shadow of her grim fate looms ever closer. After an ultimate betrayal, a devastated Helena flees into the night, now completely alone. Her only thought is reuniting with her lost childhood friend one last time...
