Beyond the Hungry Dark
(2027)(The eighth book in the Blood Veil series)
A novel by Nicholas Woode-Smith
Someone, or something, is killing people across my city.
What else is new? Death is no stranger to Cape Town's dark streets. But whatever this thing is, it isn't just some run-of-the-mill serial killer.
It's killing mortals and Veiled alike. And as more bodies turn up, ravaged and drained of blood, the fragile Pact is beginning to fracture.
I can't let this hard-won peace be for nothing. If there's a monster stalking my friends, I'll put it down myself.
Even if ORC Central doesn't think we're up to the task. Or thinks I should be in prison for some apparent crimes or other nonsense.
I'll solve this case, or die trying. Again.
My name is Kali Black. Vampire. Heiress of a forbidden bloodline. Paranormal detective.
And yes, Fredward will be making wisecracks the entire time.
Beyond the Hungry Dark is book eight of the Blood Veil series, a darkly funny vampire urban fantasy mystery packed with supernatural investigations, deadly secrets, and monsters that refuse to stay in the shadows.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
