One vampire, one mortal, and one love that death cannot separate. 

Vampire Ishmael Valen does not wish to find love again. He is content with the comforting memories of the one he lost centuries ago, while leading a carefully balanced life as the head of a council of benevolent monsters, and raising his adopted, mortal nine-year-old son, Alaric. 

But when the vague shapes his son sees begin to manifest as spiritual mediumship powers, and Alaric is expelled for accidentally channeling a spirit in his classroom, Ishmael hires a home tutor, Edric O’Moore, who feels far more familiar than he should. 

Living together in the manor, late-night talks, and pondside walks begin to blossom into a romance that battles with Ishmael’s guilt about loving another, a second heart beating in Edric’s chest, and the growing curiosity of his council regarding both their relationship and Alaric’s abilities. 

In a world that has been dark for ages, Ishmael can finally feel the sun again—and he will not lose a love for a second time.
