Some bloodlines carry secrets. Others carry curses.
Graduate student Sera Sterling arrives in Prague to study medieval folklore, never expecting to become part of it. When a creature that shouldn't exist attacks her in the monastery library, she's rescued by Matthias, a dangerously beautiful stranger with impossible strength and a secret as seductive as it is deadly. He pulls Sera into a shadowy world of monsters and magic she never believed to be real.
But Prague's supernatural underworld is erupting into violence, and Sera is at the center of it. The deadly lies she uncovers about her family's past suggest the magnetic stranger who saved her life may have been hunting her long before their first meeting.
With enemies closing in and time running out, Sera must decide what she's willing to sacrifice and whether she can trust the man who might be her salvation or her destruction.
In the blood-soaked streets of Prague, some folklore refuses to stay buried.
