An empire fueled by blood. A people desperate for the dawn.
A world ruled by merciless vampires is the only thing those born in the Crimson Empire have ever known. For almost a millennium, darkness has shrouded the sky, and the Empire’s human occupants have lived like livestock, relentlessly harvested for the precious resource flowing through their veins. When Lyric Wexler is selected for harvesting and taken to the vampirine city of Ravenheart, a swift death is her only hope. But not all who are taken there are slaughtered right away, and she soon finds herself embroiled in the dangerous games of the second most powerful vampire House in the Empire.
Dorian Ravenheart is the son of the city’s founder and the heir to the highest seat on its Council. But he isn’t content with serving as his father’s puppet for the next two centuries. His reckless effort to change his station puts him on a collision course with a group of human freedom fighters known as the Daybreak Resistance—and one former vamp hunter for the Daybreakers with an unquenchable thirst for vengeance.
War has been brewing for centuries. For the first time since the Long Night began, it’s a war that humanity might actually have a hope of winning.
Genre: Science Fiction
