Unwilling to marry Lord Bloodworth, the wealthy landowner her father has chosen for her, Bryony flees her home in the middle of a storm and takes refuge in what she thinks is an abandoned house made of stone. Her refuge becomes her prison when she wakes in the morning and discovers neither the doors nor the windows will open.

Her fears rise when she meets the strange man who appears always by night. He has remarkable powers that she attributes to witchcraft, only to learn to her horror that not only is Stefan a witch but a vampire, as well. Though he refuses to release her, he treats her kindly, providing her with books and paints and anything else she desires -- except her freedom. As the weeks pass, Bryony's fear and revulsion turn to trust and she discovers a kindred spirit in the man who holds her fate in his hands.

As the love between Stefan and Bryony grows, he decides he wants her to stay with him of her own free will and sends her home to decide her own fate. To her horror, Bryony discovers that her father is a vampire hunter, determined to see Stefan dead, and equally determined to see her wed to Lord Bloodworth. As Bryony realizes the depths of her love for Stefan, she prays that she will find a way to save the life of the man who has stolen her heart and save herself from the loveless marriage her father has arranged for her.
