Trust no one, never give up and always - always - guard your heart! You are prey in a world of predators. Every day, Oraya must fight to survive. As the adopted human daughter of the vampire king, she lives in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance of ever being more than prey is to take part in the Kejari: a legendary tournament organised by Nyaxia - the goddess of death. For Oraya to have any chance at all, she must form an alliance with her greatest enemy: Raihn. Everything about him is dangerous. Born to kill, he is ruthless and also an enemy of her father. But what scares Oraya most is not the kejari or the possibility of defeat or death, but that she feels strangely attracted to Raihn. As if that weren't enough, a storm is brewing - like a dark premonition - and shaking everything Oraya thought she knew about her homeland. And Raihn understands her perhaps better than anyone else. But the ever-growing attraction could be her downfall in a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than trust and love.
