When blood awakens, fate answers.
Liora Wei lives an ordinary life—until a cut on her palm stains an old red hairpin, and the night begins to sing.
Dragged into a hidden realm between worlds, Liora discovers that the hairpin is Xueji — Blood Spine, a relic of a dead bloodline that now recognizes her as its sole heir.
Her awakening pulls her toward a mysterious man bound to her past—one who saves her only to claim her.
In visions of crimson fields, Liora meets a Blood Ancestor who reveals the truth:
Her lineage once ruled the forbidden arts of living blood,
and its enemies have waited centuries for her return.
Power now pulses beneath her skin—dangerous, sensual, uncontrollable.
To survive, Liora must trust the man who walks the edge of shadow and vow,
even as prophecy warns:
> He will save her.
He will destroy her.
He will love her.
He will break her.
