The Betwixt War
(2026)(The third book in the Vampire Assassin series)
A novel by James Anderson Foster
For fans of Underworld, Night Huntress, and the Dresden Files.
She stopped the war. Now reality itself is the battlefield.
Three months after the upheaval that nearly destroyed Chicago's supernatural underworld, Alexandra Balarescu has carved out a new role — arbiter, negotiating territory disputes and brokering fragile truces between rival Coven houses by sheer force of reputation. It's the closest thing to purpose she's had in a hundred and thirty years.
But Zara isn't finished.
The cunning Fae has retreated into the Betwixt — a dimension between worlds where memory becomes architecture and emotion reshapes reality. There, she's building something that will fold the physical world into her domain and render every living thing in it irrelevant. And every move Alexandra has made since their last encounter has been playing into Zara's design.
To stop her, Alexandra will have to enter a realm that doesn't obey the rules of the one she knows — where healing falters, weapons lose their edge, and the only way forward is to weaponize her own grief, rage, and humanity against a being who has been pulling her strings from the start. What she finds at the heart of the Betwixt will demand a price she never imagined — and change what it means to be Alexandra Balarescu.
The Betwixt War is the explosive third installment in the Vampire Assassin series — a high-stakes urban fantasy thriller where the battlefield is between worlds, the cost of victory is everything she is, and what comes out the other side may not be Alexandra at all.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
