Casey Jenkins lives in a world that has just been taken over by vampires where humans are captured to be either slaves or food to their vampire rulers. She's taken and sold to Damien, one of the oldest and most powerful, not to mention one of the coldest and most distant of his race. She becomes his personal servant... for him to do whatever he wants with her. Casey is not really happy with this change, but she's managing to tolerate it until she can somehow get away. She's waiting for the perfect time to stop acting like the shy, docile little human that Damien and the rest of the vampires think she is. But, while she's biding her time, she realizes something: Damien in the beginning starts treating her like most other vampires, but as time goes on she realizes that his actions towards her start to change. This just leads to her ask one question: Why?
