When Jessica Packwood found out she was a Romanian vampire princess, she had the shock of her teenage life. Turns out that was the easy part.

Now, married to Prince Lucius Vladescu, she has to claim her throne and convince a vampire nation she's fit to be their queen. But Jess can't even order a decent meal from her castle's Romanian staff, let alone deal with devious undead subjects who would love to see her fail.

And when Lucius is accused of murdering a vampire Elder and imprisoned without the blood he needs, Jessica finds herself alone, fighting for both their survivals.

Desperate to clear her husband's name and win his release, Jess enlists the help of her best friend, Mindy Stankowicz, and Lucius's mysterious Italian cousin, Raniero Lovato. But both of them are keeping some dark secrets. Can Jess figure out who to trust - and how to rise to power - before she loses everything, including the vampire she loves?

Após o casamento, Antanasia/Jess, luta para sair da sua zona de conforto como esposa e protegida de seu marido Lucius, sua evolução a torna uma personagem forte e que ao contrário do que acontecia, teria agora em suas mãos a responsabilidade de se firmar como autoridade real, solucionar um crime e proteger seu marido, além de desenvolver um pensamento próprio e não influenciável. Diferente dos outros livros, existe um toque adulto nesse, a autora aborda um hot leve entre o casal, apresenta o passado dos personagens secundários, Ranniero e Ylenia. Também deixa o livro levemente emocionante com um pouco de mistério.
