A thousand stories of immortality have been written in blood, but her own life remains a blank page. In a palace built on controlled decay, an invisible scribe is about to become the only history worth saving. Clara is a "Gray," a Blood-Scribe forced to document the genealogies of the vampire aristocracy while hiding behind a leaden mask. She is an ornament, present but unseen, until the night of the Blood Moon when Prince Julian—the Prince of Ashes—does the unthinkable. He rips away her mask, igniting an Eternal Bond that rewrites the fundamental structure of his existence and drags Clara from the shadows into a world of agonizing clarity. But Julian is fading, literally dissolving into ash because he refused to bond for a century. Clara’s blood, saturated with the psychic imprints of the ancestors she has documented, is the only blueprint that can teach his body how to survive. As they flee through the Vaults of the Erased, Clara must choose between the brother she thought was dead—now a leader in the human resistance—and the prince who claims her as his future. Their bond is tested by the Oblivion Protocol, a devastating spell designed by the High Council to erase them from history itself. To survive, Julian must burn his own legacy, and Clara must evolve into a Scribe-Mage, learning to write truth into the very stone of the palace. They must decide if their love is a biological trap or a radical choice that can end three thousand years of tyranny. In a world where ash becomes ink and ghosts become queens, the greatest magic isn't immortality—it’s the courage to be seen. Witness the birth of the Library of the Dawn, where history is finally written by those who choose to stay.
