A century ago, eighteen-year-old knight Damien Blade crawled into a hidden cave while two empires destroyed each other outside. Mortally wounded and desperate for one final drink, he swallowed water from a crimson spring. The liquid healed his body, stole his heartbeat, and buried him beneath the earth for one hundred years. Damien awakens in a world of speeding cars, electric lights, and a history that says he died in battle. Rescued by Edward and Maria, he must hide his hunger and enter Blackthorne Academy as an ordinary student. Then he meets Lily Lancaster, the only girl whose presence can make his silent heart beat. But Lily's heartbeat is more than a miracle. It is the key sought by an ancient vampire, a secret order of hunters, and Lilith Rain, the mysterious girl who remembers Damien from the night he disappeared. To protect the first family he has known in a century, Damien must uncover who created the Bloodspring, why the greatest war in human history was fought over his blood, and whether loving Lily will restore his humanity or awaken the monster sleeping inside him.
