November 1839, Kraków, Poland. Rainy nights never stop, and daylight is scarce, swallowed by pale mists. Candles flicker in every window, desperate flames holding back the encroaching dark. In the cemeteries, flowers decay on graves, their perfume mingling with the scent of wet earth and something sweeter—fruit liqueur shared during namesdays, a warmth against the cold that seeps into bones and hearts alike.

Wanda has everything a young and beautiful woman of that era could want—a devoted husband, a comfortable home, and the freedom to pursue her writing endeavors. However, beneath the surface of her perfect life, something is missing. A hollow ache that no amount of candlelight or sweet wine can fill.

Her husband, Adam, is a landlord who manages tenements—and a vampire. He died and was transformed in Paris long ago, stripped of his soul, and left with an emptiness that even his love for Wanda cannot fill. He offers her companionship, wealth and  eternity, but Wanda feels cold and alone in their relationship. His love burns, but it burns cool—a distant flame that warms without truly heating.

Then she meets Olaf, a hauntingly handsome clerk at a local pawnshop. A former soldier killed in Poland's failed November Uprising and buried improperly in a mass grave, who woke to an existence of constant torment. He is an upiór—a different kind of undead than a vampire, cursed to keep his soul while his body suffers. Until he meets Wanda, whose presence soothes, eases and heals his pain. His love burns red, desperate and consuming—a fire that makes her feel truly alive.

Wanda falls for Olaf with a force she cannot resist, but that doesn't mean her feelings for Adam are gone. She loves them both and she refuses to choose. She cannot. Her heart burns for both, and she refuses to extinguish either.

However, her husband will not surrender his wife without a fight. Their jealousy ignites like gunpowder in the damp Kraków air, threatening to consume everything they've built. The vampires and upiórs are ancient enemies, leaving Olaf hurt and Adam ashamed of his instincts. Meanwhile, Wanda’s friends judge her torn heart, and the society condemns it.

But she refuses to break, or choose. She knows that she can't lose either of them; and when both refuse to give her up, a radical, impossible triad begins—one that could either redeem them all or destroy everything they have left.

Can Wanda love two creatures of darkness and still create love and light for both of  them? Can she alone heal the wounds that years of pain have carved into their souls?

In a world where daylight is scarce and shadows stretch long, will these three broken hearts find a way to burn together—and catch the daylight, the only source of hope in their lives?
