For readers who enjoy Deborah Harknesss blend of history and the supernatural, Anne Rices morally complex vampires, and Leigh Bardugos sharp, contemporary dialogue.
Erin Conrad has learned to accept the fire that burns in her blood – a rare gift that makes her a van?tor, capable of sensing and destroying the vampires that stalk her city. By day, she pours lattes at Jolt, the bookish coffee shop she co-owns. But by night, she hunts, driven by an instinct that fulfils and hollows her.
When her best friend is found dead miles away, his death staged to look like suicide, Erin refuses to accept the official explanation. As more bodies fall, she follows a bloody trail to two ancient vampires and discovers someone is recreating their most infamous kills – with her friends as the victims.
Her search seems hopeless, until a mysterious Scotsman appears in her hour of need. Despite everything shes sworn to destroy, Erin feels an undeniable attraction toward him – a burning desire that threatens the very identity shes built her life around. Their connection is as inexplicable as it is powerful, pulling her deeper into a hidden world shes only glimpsed before.
Caught between powerful vampires with centuries of history, Erin must unravel long-buried truths while a killer watches her every move. As old secrets come to light, passion ignites between unlikely allies and she discovers a power unlike anything shes encountered before – one that awakens not just her abilities, but her heart.
In this dangerous game where old grudges dictate the rules and revelations unfold with each step, Erin faces an impossible choice: vengeance for those shes lost or a love that could transform everything – if she dares to embrace it.
