​This is a stand alone story where we meet Lilith and Vale. From the day she was born and almost died, Lilith has felt death walking with her, waiting.

Knowing her entire town is cursed with a gods-cursed illness, Lilith is determined to find a cure. A simple transaction with the vampire Vale, vials of his blood for a rose once a month, turns into a fight for her life and the revelation of a secret deal her father made to save her life.

This story fits nicely in the Nightborn Deut, but is not required as part of the series. I read it after I read the Shadowborn Deut (all that was written at the time) and loved it.
