A fallen court, a blood-stained name, and a war stirring in the shadows.

Lady Nalia was never meant to survive the night her world burned. Branded a traitor and hunted by the very realm she once held dear, her name has become a weapon, but Talen has no intention of letting that lie stand.

Driven by vengeance disguised as justice, the former monster hunter begins a ruthless hunt of his own. One by one, he tracks those responsible for the massacre that shattered Nalia’s life. Lords, viscounts, and vampires alike will answer for what they’ve done, no matter the cost. But while Talen wages his war, Nalia faces a far darker threat.

Children of the Blood Moon are being hunted for a single, terrifying purpose: to serve as sacrifices for the resurrection of a long-dead vampire king whose return would drown the world in blood. To stop this, Nalia must find them before the Blood King's acolytes do.

Bound by vengeance, torn by duty, and pursued by enemies on all sides, Nalia and Talen are forced down separate paths, each risking everything for a cause that may destroy them both.

Because some names can be cleared,
while others are written in blood…
