What it is

Thanks to an unfortunate quirk of my family tree, I’m stuck serving a dangerous vampire who looks like a luxury menswear ad and thinks humans are livestock.

Lately, though, he’s been looking at me like I might be something more than his latest Renfield.

When a new body turns up—death by crossbow bolt—I’m relieved.

Not that death is good. But at least now there’s a killer for Alexandru and me to hunt…which means he’ll have someone to drain who isn’t a friend.

The investigation should be straightforward.

It isn’t.

Every pattern falls apart. Every lead points somewhere new. It requires the mother of all spreadsheets—but the deeper we dig, the more it feels like I’m missing something obvious. Which I hate, because spreadsheets are my love language, and I do not miss obvious things.

Meanwhile, Alexandru is asking questions that are none of his business. Taking off his gloves in a way that should honestly be illegal. And worst of all, acting like I’M under HIS protection. How is that a thing?

I thought the most dangerous thing in my life was the killer we’re hunting.

Now I’m not so sure.
