A vampire hunter goes undercover at a mysterious university only to find herself falling in love with an alluring vampire, in this seductive sapphic fantasy.

An elite vampire university in Scotland has opened its doors to humans for the first time. But there is one pupil very different from the rest... Rebecca Charity. Vampire hunter. She is searching for the Book of Blood and Roses, a compendium of ways to kill vampires.

But when Rebecca arrives, she finds someone unexpected. The beautiful vampire, Aliz Astra, who is everything Rebecca has always hated, and wanted.

When Aliz rescues her from a vampire attack, she accidentally makes Rebecca her familiar. And they must work together to break the curse, growing closer by the day.

But what happens when a vampire hunter falls in love with a vampire?
