In a world where vampire law is supreme and blood is regulated like currency, fledgling Dominic Delacroix is struggling to survive his immortal education.
Bound by law to his ancient sire, Mathias Moreau—a powerful elder and prosecutor for the global vampire judiciary—Dominic must navigate a strict society where missteps aren't just frowned upon... they're fatal. As part of the Vampirium's elite night school, Dominic is expected to learn discipline, diplomacy, and control. But when an elder is found murdered—ritually drained and carved with ancient glyphs—the thin veneer of law begins to crack.
The killer isn't just defying the law... they're resurrecting the darkest traditions of vampire history.
As panic spreads through the courts and classrooms alike, Dominic finds himself at the center of a mystery older than the Vampirium itself. Torn between loyalty and rebellion, between sarcastic defiance and buried power, Dominic may be the key to stopping a rising movement that seeks to tear the world order apart—one ritual at a time.
