Where blood flows eternal, only the heart is the masterpiece.

Evita is an art curator tasked with assembling a once-in-a-century exhibition at a contemporary art museum in Chicago. Her goal: gather three superstar artists whose fame will shine a light on struggling, lesser-known talent. But her search is shadowed by a sickness within. Hunger is her constant curse. Sunlight, her enemy.

Then she meets him. A shadowy figure whose feral allure?felt in his gaze and the brush of his teeth?offers a fleeting respite in the twilight. With him, the line between salvation and surrender dissolves.

But desire comes with a price. If Evita gives in to the darkness binding them, she risks more than losing control. She could destroy the exhibition she sacrificed everything for?her night gallery, the last fragile thread tethering her to the world of the living. And loving him might cost her the only masterpiece she has left: her heart.
