In the shadows of a fractured world, a covert government agency—the Blue Book Task Force—joins forces with The Shedu, a secretive vampire order bound by an ancient oath never to kill. Led by the enigmatic and morally unyielding Surratt, The Shedu and BBTF hunt rogue vampires who’ve surrendered to the virus’s darker instincts, threatening humanity’s fragile grip on safety.

At the heart of the series are the Utukku—vampires desperate to reclaim their humanity through experimental antivirals engineered by Dr. Megan Harper, a mortal scientist whose personal tragedy fuels her mission. Married to a vampire and haunted by her sister’s death from xeroderma pigmentosum, Megan’s research offers a sliver of hope: a cure that allows vampires to feel again, to love again. But the cost may be devastating.

Opposing them are the Ekimmu, bloodthirsty predators determined to crush the Shedu, the BBTF, and any Utukku or mortal who dares defy the darkness. As ancient loyalties fracture and forbidden love ignites, the battle for redemption becomes a war for the soul—where light and immortality collide, and every choice could mean salvation… or ruin.

Axle Travers thought escaping his past meant starting over. Reunited with his estranged father and working security at Lifeblood of America, he never expected the biotech giant to be run by vampires—or to become one himself.

Kidnapped and transformed by a rogue military doctor, Axle survives thanks to a radical vaccine that grants him supernatural abilities without the curse. But survival comes at a price: betrayal, loss, and a life forever altered.

Now running a private investigation firm in Asheville, Axle takes on a case for Haley Conners. Reeling from a failed marriage, Haley has returned home to care for her dying mother and rebuild her life. But when a stalker the police can’t stop circles closer, she turns to Axle for help—and their rekindled connection sparks something deeper. But Haley’s stalker is no longer human, and the truth behind his transformation threatens everything.

As danger closes in, Axle faces an impossible choice: protect Haley by hiding the truth—or risk everything by revealing it.  In a world teetering on the Edge of Darkness where monsters wear human faces, the greatest danger may be the one he’s trying hardest to deny.
