But breaking the curse isn’t their only problem.
As they dive into New York’s shadowy underworld, Vlad and Delphine uncover a deadly conspiracy that could ignite a war among the city’s most dangerous factions. With enemies closing in, time running out, and an attraction that’s impossible to ignore, Vlad must decide: can he trust the super soldier with his life—and his heart?
