Rael Kaelith, Aven Kaelith, and Ishael Valeora were dragged into Nocthra not as prisoners, but as livestock. Fed upon, owned and forgotten by the world. Two years later, escape became their only hope. Blood stained the palace gates. Promises were broken. And only two children ran. Ishael and Aven were taken in by the Ebon Chalice—an ancient order sworn to end the vampire reign. Marked by powers older than history, Ishael becomes the key to a legacy long thought extinct. Rael never escaped. Chosen by Queen Ashira for his rare blood, he is bound as her Thirteenth Shadow, a monster made to obey, a boy who refuses to become one. To protect the ones he loves, he trades his freedom for her mercy. But prophecies do not care for bargains.
