Brash young drifter Jude Taylor travels to Anarchy, an all-male resort for vampires, to take a job as a blood servant to the powerful Prince Marius of Styria. Each night, he goes to the prince's bedroom and offers him both his body and his blood. Marius soon finds himself falling for Jude, who touches his long-still heart and arouses his cold body in a way no other human has for hundreds of years. When Jude begins to feel the same, though, he faces a terrible dilemma. Vampire politics have reached a boiling point, and Marius has no idea that Jude has been recruited by a secret cabal to assassinate him. If they succeed, no one in the human world will be safe from their bloodlust. Yet Jude knows he must follow through with his mission to kill the vampire he has grown to love or forfeit his own life.
