Millenia ago, two vampire princes waited for their father to die. When the old king was murdered, Ronan and Cian began a bloody battle for the crown – one that ended in a stalemate, their kingdom and respective followers dismantled, scattered and destroyed.
It is now the present day. The world has moved on, but Ronan and Cian are still alive, plotting in the shadows. They wait for the day when an ancient prophecy declares a woman – a descendant of a priestess from the old religion – will arrive. She will have the power to declare one of the brothers the true king and, with it, they will be able to control the descendants of their former followers from centuries earlier.
The time is now. The woman – Adeline, a naïve, virginal college student – has arrived in the Irish countryside to study. Ronan and Cian plan to make Adeline love each of them, as a means of finally becoming king. And they will do anything to best the other. But when real feelings get involved and Adeline has to choose…which brother will it be?
