Nine centuries ago, beneath the shroud of an endless night, a man named Ved met a death that refused to end. His soul was buried, yet his shadow lived on — carried by the wind, whispering through the ages. Time forgot his name, but David Acharya remembered. In his desperate pursuit of escape, David became the reflection of Ved — neither alive nor dead, but something in between.
The world has changed, yet their curse endures.
The Queen of Blood rules from her crimson throne. Fairy Angels — once radiant beings of light — now teeter on the edge of ruin, their beauty as deadly as poison. The Dhampia, half-bloods born of darkness and dawn, hunt in silence. And from the ashes of the ghost world rise the Children of the Moon, returning after nine hundred years to wage war upon the vampires. Among them stalks Rebta, the werewolf whose howl splits the night — yet even he is not the greatest threat.
In a world where shadows live and death is no escape, who will survive the darkness that binds them all?
