The Gloaming

Some fire burns hotter in the darkness...

For readers who enjoy Deborah Harkness's mix of history and the supernatural, Anne Rice's morally complex vampires, and Leigh Bardugo's sharp, contemporary dialogue comes a darkly captivating vampire tale that blends genres as skillfully as it blends gothic romance, danger and desire.

Erin Conrad has learned to live with the fire that burns in her blood – a rare gift that makes her a vân?tor, capable of sensing and destroying the vampires that stalk her city. By day, she pours lattes at the bookish coffee shop she co-owns. By night, she hunts, chasing justice, vengeance, and sometimes just survival. But every kill leaves her a little more hollow, a little more haunted by what she's becoming.

When her best friend is found dead, his death staged to look like suicide, Erin refuses to accept the lie. As more bodies fall, she follows a bloody trail that leads to two ancient vampires – and discovers someone is recreating their most infamous kills, with her friends as victims.

Her search seems hopeless, until a mysterious Scotsman appears when she needs him the most. Despite everything she knows about trusting strangers, Erin feels an undeniable pull toward him – a connection that threatens to unravel everything she believes about herself and her purpose.

Caught between powerful vampires with their own dark history, Erin must confront long-buried truths while a killer shadows her every move. As passion ignites between unlikely allies, she faces an impossible choice: cling to the vengeance that's defined her, or risk everything for a love that could destroy her – or finally make her whole.

The Gloaming is the first book in the Blood of the Revenants series.
