"As a little girl, I was extremely greedy. I wanted everything. I had always wanted to be beautiful, I constantly said I needed to be. I wanted to marry young and not only to have the attention the man I had loved more than anything but the attention of every other man who saw me as well. I wanted to be famous and hear my names on the lips of people wherever I went. Though I never had any idea that I would truly be able to have all of that and be miserable. But you see dear, I've realized that once you lose everything else, every selfish wish you have ever had becomes a burden and all those things become absolutely worthless."
-Cecilia Valisari
In order for me to tell you the plot of the story, it is necessary to read the following background information. I promise I will try to keep it as short as possible. The story begins with Cecilia Yorke and Dimitri Woods. Childhood playmates, the two grew up together with no issues until the day of Alina's fifteenth birthday. Though the two were best friends, Dimitri had been keeping his share of secrets for year.
To start, he was born a half-vampire and would become a full one upon his eighteenth birthday. Next came the fact he was the son of a vampire king known simply as Eyes, and a human woman named Rachel. Lastly, the fact that as soon as he would turn eighteen he would also be forced to take on a mate.
Now vampires are not exactly the stereotypical creatures we generally hear of. Sunlight has no effect upon them, and garlic merely smells disgusting. The creatures have no reflection, and of course has unnatural speed and strength. Also both half and full vampires are capable of turning humans. This process takes only a few minutes, and though at first the bite may be pleasurable it quickly turns painful.
When he told Cecilia he truth, she of course did not believe him, and the two preceded to argue over how she thought he was being ridiculous, and lying for no reason, and he the fact she was being so narrow-minded. When Cecilia grew tired of the argument and simply replied with "Bite me," a mischievous grin spread across his face. He said nothing and merely moved behind her, which of course came as a surprise, she had no time to react before being bitten.
Without realizing, what he had done, Dimitri had managed to turn her, which he realized after she collapsed to the ground from the resulting pain. After regaining her composure, a terrified Cecilia didn't hesitate to yell at Dimitri to leave her house and not to come back again. He left her house without a word, and that was indeed the last time she saw him.
This is where the summary ends.
The story begins four years later and a war has broken out between the were-creatures and vampires. Just as well, a small faction of vampires has risen up to take down the new vampire king, Dimitri. The leader of this faction is none other than Cecilia, who is now married to a human by the name of Nicolae Valisari.
The faction is working to take down the king as they seem to believe that he has become too power hungry and because of the fact that he believes that vampires should not have to hide their identity from human beings. Which of course, would cause panic and hysteria among many.
Dimitri and his wife Cassandra have worked non-stop to put an end to this faction but have found that the faction has evaded every measure used against them. Now they are having the royal guard target all possible members, and want them brought in dead or alive.
Let us not forget that war is always on one's mind, with the threat of constant threat of attack due to complications with boundaries.
