Until the night he rescues one of them, a frail newborn vampling, Diana, and she becomes his responsibility.

One day, Drako asks her to spar with one of his friends, and she meets Samuel, a defenseless cripple who inspires Martina to protect him from the ugliness of the world. A friendship blossoms between two broken souls. But fate doesn’t seem to smile on them. Coming from two different worlds, Samuel and Martina will soon have to fight both paranormals and humans for their right to be together.
