Angeline Delacour has spent her life walking the thin line between perfection and lies. Cursed with telepathic powers but gifted with a White Wolf twin, Angeline hides her true self from everyone, but especially from herself. She longs for freedom, but her carefully constructed world shatters when she encounters Maros, one of the First Vampires and the most dangerous being on earth.
Angeline has no time to reflect on her meeting with him when an incident sends the young woman to the toughest convent in Europe, where years of isolation and torture harden her heart and deepen her mistrust of the world. When war tears her from her confinement, she finds herself a prisoner in Maros's grip.
As war rages, her desire for Maros grows, and Angeline must decide where her loyalties lie and how much of herself she can surrender to Maros.
