Publisher's Synopsis
I've always felt something watching me from the shadows, these ancient things that feed on blood and misery. I just didn't know what they were until now. They say I'm all that stands between humanity and extinction-what a cosmic joke that turned out to be. My name is Francesca Mills, and my entire existence has been carefully crafted. That safe, mundane world I clung to? Nothing but a cruel illusion. Reality is far uglier: savage creatures called the Breachers stalk the night, leaving trails of mangled bodies and shattered souls in their wake. They rip through both human flesh and immortal alike, and somehow I'm supposed to be the one to end their reign of terror. The truth is, I'm as lost as anyone. I don't even know what kind of monster I am. But the oldest, deadliest vampire ever to walk this earth has been circling me like a vulture, waiting to drag my bleeding heart into their ancient war. I'm suffocating in this nightmare of blood magic and backstabbing immortals. Witches crawl into my mind each night, whispering prophecies that taste like ash and terror. Every corner hides something with teeth and claws and hunger. And these vampire clans? They're tearing each other apart to claim me. Elder Armacey says he wants to keep me safe, but I've learned that in this hell, the gentlest touch masks the deadliest poison.
