It’s been five years since Aaliyah William’s father died, and now, she lives at the bottom of a witch’s pit.
​
It’s dark and cold, but it’s not empty. There are other prisoners here with her, lying in the deep darkness, waiting to be taken away to places unknown. She has two friends there with her, people she met after coming to this place, and she’s realized she’d do anything for them.
​
So when a familiar face from her past takes her away from the pit, she has only one goal: find a way to come back for her friends and rescue them from the depths. There’s just one problem.
​
Her new captor is a vampire-witch who gives her two choices: give him her blood, or he will take it.
​
Over the course of three months, Aaliyah will discover that not only is the paranormal world a place much darker and colder than the pit, but bargains with hungry vampires quickly spell disaster.
