Shinpu wa Yoru no Hanayome

Despite having consecrated his life to God, the young priest Sera harbors a forbidden longing in his heart—a secret love for his dearest friend, a man soon to be wed. Bound by his vows yet tormented by desire, Sera walks the fragile line between devotion and sin, his purity stained by the very human ache of unrequited affection. But on a night wracked by thunder and lashing rain, that internal storm becomes flesh and blood when a stranger emerges from the darkness. He is Jin—a vampire cloaked in black, with an unsettling magnetism that seems to pierce straight through Sera’s carefully constructed righteousness. Drawn as if by instinct to the priest’s tainted blood, Jin does not attack; he seduces. With honeyed words and a predator’s patience, he tempts Sera toward the very transgressions the young cleric has so long resisted, offering a dark liberation from the chains of his faith. Yet beneath the velvet whispers lies an unreadable intent—a hidden purpose that Sera cannot fathom, and perhaps dares not question. As the storm rages and the line between savior and tempter blurs, Sera must confront the terrifying possibility that Jin’s arrival is no coincidence, and that the price of surrender may be far greater than his soul alone.
