In the Nightshade Club, every bite is a contract. Jessamine Quill has spent years enforcing that rule from behind a consent booth, notarizing feeding agreements in the blue-neon dark of the French Quarter while keeping her own secrets locked beneath practiced calm. She knows the rules. She trusts the paperwork. She does not trust vampires.

But before dawn, her past comes due. A blood-oath she signed years ago—in grief, in panic, in a moment she has never let herself fully remember—is about to be collected in public, in front of the entire Nightshade court, in the most humiliating way the prince can devise. And the vampire assigned to escort her to the tribunal is Cyrus Pereira: lethal, controlled, and the one person in the underworld who seems to see straight through her armor.

Cyrus is sworn to the court that wants to make an example of her. He is the last man she should trust. And yet he is whispering that her oath is not what she believes—and offering her one desperate chance to find the truth before the ritual begins.
