Vale is curious about Lilith and strikes a deal with her where he provides her with blood samples in exchange for a “special” rose that she brings him. She promises to come once a month for six months, and so the story is split into six parts, for each of her visits. As the two interact, Lilith realizes they have a lot in common, so a friendship and mutual admiration begins to develop. This turns into more, and Vale finds in Lilith something unexpected. The two of them are strong leads and as the story is largely focused on their interactions, they drive the plot well.
The ending has a few surprises and is driven by the choices that Vale and Lilith make throughout the story. They do not stray from their characters and the ending sets them both up to meet the main story line after the events of The Serpent and the Wings of Night.
