In 2044 New Orleans, the shadows run deep…and the bloodlines runs deeper.
Darius, a centuries-old vampire caught between duty and desire. When local college students start vanishing across the city, he knows something darker is at work—something that echoes ancient secrets long buried beneath the surface of the vampire world.
His father, Malcolm, the powerful leader of the vampire council, is forced to confront a past he thought was sealed in stone. And when Darius crosses paths with Scarlett, a headstrong local whose presence stirs something primal within him, he realizes that fate has other plans.
As tensions rise and bodies fall, the truth behind the vampire lineage—rooted in the sacred bloodlines of ancient Kemet—begins to unravel. New Orleans becomes ground zero for a war centuries in the making, and only days shy of the last deadly war. The war that has spilled into the human world where love, loyalty, and survival collide will test supernatural and human alike.
Dark, seductive, and thrilling, this is not the vampire story you think you know. There’s no reason to fear the night. They walk amongst you in plain sight.
