How do you love someone whose touch will kill you?
Born out of wedlock to one of the city’s wealthiest men, Isabella’s entire existence was clouded in shame. Her father’s family exploited this, forcing her to serve them for free – and consistently donate her own blood for her half-sister. Hope for any happiness is out of reach – until she meets Lucian, a death angel. Anyone Lucian touches will die. As their love deepens, Lucian faces a choice: break the sacred laws to save her…or leave her to a fate worse than death.
