He spent three centuries listening to the world scream. One taste of her blood was the only thing that made it stop.
Gale Hoffman is the Sommelier of Vienna. Ancient, impossibly wealthy, and feared by every creature in the city's supernatural underbelly, Gale is a connoisseur of blood. But his power comes with a curse: The Cacophony. He hears the thoughts, pains, and desires of two million humans screaming in his head every second of every day. He is a monster driven to the brink of madness, searching for a vintage strong enough to drown out the noise.
Aubrey Pauley is nothing. Broke, invisible, and desperate, she sells her blood to pay the rent. But when she stands before the Sommelier, he rejects her. He calls her ditch water. He tastes her and finds a void so terrifying he throws her out into the snow.
But he was wrong. That void wasn't emptiness. It was Silence. For one glorious second, Aubrey's blood turned off the noise in Gale's head.
Now, the most dangerous vampire in Europe is tearing the city apart to find her. He doesn't want a lover. He doesn't want a friend. He wants a cure. He offers her a golden cage, a fortune in euros, and protection from the monsters hunting her-all in exchange for a daily taste of the silence in her veins.
But Aubrey isn't just a mute button for a billionaire monster. She is a biological anomaly-a Null. And in a world ruled by magic, the girl who is nothing is the only thing that can kill a god.
As the Coven closes in and the Matriarch demands the cure for herself, Gale must make a choice: Keep his immortality and lose his mind, or become the one thing he despises-a mortal man-to save the woman who taught him how to hear his own heart.
