Davey Owen wants nothing more than a good time when he ventures out looking for entertainment. What he discovers instead transforms his simple quest into a terrifying ordeal. He encounters a woman whose beauty captivates him immediately, but her unnaturally pale skin hints at something far more sinister beneath the surface. She makes him an offer that seems too good to refuse: intense passion, overwhelming pleasure, and the promise of living forever. The price she demands in return proves far steeper than Davey initially understands. She wants his blood and something even more precious. As their relationship deepens, Davey must confront the true nature of what she offers and what she takes. His soul hangs in the balance as he faces a choice between mortal life and an existence that may cost him everything that makes him human.
