They said I was a payment. I became his weakness.
When Elara’s family debt comes due, she is sold to Lord Alaric a half‑vampire prince feared for his cold heart and ruthless reputation. She arrives at Blackmere Manor expecting a monster. Instead, she finds a fortress of silence, a man who keeps her at arm’s length, and a marriage that exists only on paper.
Alaric wants a pawn. Elara wants to survive.
But as she walks the overgrown gardens his mother once loved, and sits with him in the library late at night, she begins to see the truth: he is not cold. He is frozen—by a century‑old curse that turns every feeling into danger.
When the vampire court threatens to tear them apart, Alaric must decide: will he keep his heart locked away forever, or will he risk everything for the woman who dared to tame it?
A gothic romance serial in 80 episodes. Forced marriage. Enemies to lovers. Slow burn.
