Lord Marcus stays by her burned body with gentle hands... while secretly ordering Sunlight Essence to destroy her Blood Core so he can raise his secret fledgling with his true lover Rachel. Sarah wakes as a Broken Vessel. She smiles, pretends to accept her fate, and quietly vanishes on the night of the ceremony by staging her own death. When the news reaches the altar, Marcus shatters. He abandons everything, cages Rachel, and burns half his power just to find the woman he destroyed. r Blood Core slowly reigniting under the moonlight."
