<Book Introduction> "Swear loyalty to me. Comfort me." After her brother's death, Countess Selene is driven to the edge of a precipice. To protect her family, she attempts to seduce and win over Aiden, the only knight she could trust. Because she believed he was a naive, loyal knight of common birth. Because she foolishly thought she could keep him under her absolute control. However, that was Selene's arrogance. "How would you like me to comfort you, my young lord?" Feigning falling for her clumsy seduction, Aiden reveals his beastly true nature. He snaps the leash Selene was holding and turns the tables, tightening a chokehold around her breath. A beastly predator by night, a flawless knight by day. The secret and sultry circumstances of a knight set out to devour his lord's body, mind, and territory.
