Nina's twin sister Sher has been groomed to be an Inherited Servant since she was six years old. Sher insists that Nina is no less service-oriented than herself, but Nina sees no comparison between her career as a nurse, and her sister's eagerness to be the slave of a vampire, where she is allowed no will or dreams of her own.
It's 1941, and Nina is with the Australian Army Nurses Service in Singapore. What happens to her when the city falls to the Japanese will shatter Nina all the way to the soul. But fate seems determined to give her more than she can bear. When her sister dies in a car crash, Nina is informed that she must take her place as an InhServ. She will be given to Lord Alistair, a vampire who sees Nina as his property, to do with as he pleases.
Even as she rages against her fate, the ways in which Alistair commands her surrender leads her to a terrifyingly different understanding of her will and her dreams. By binding herself to him, can she become whole again, but in a way she never expected?
