Product Description
Months after the fall of Hemlock Lounge, Detective-turned-vampire Nyla Cruz is back in the shadows—tracking the global blood syndicate that fed Lucien’s empire. Her search takes her across Europe’s underworld: vampire speakeasies, auction houses selling “purebloods,” and ancient cities where the most powerful feeders rule behind centuries-old thrones.
But Nyla isn’t just hunting them.
They’re expecting her.
Each Blood Chef is more dangerous than the last—some charming, others monstrous, all bound by a secret older than vampirism itself. And while Nyla resists feeding, her hunger grows, unlocking powers no vampire should possess.
When whispers emerge of a mythical serum—The Crimson Key—that can cure or control vampirism, Nyla finds herself in a war between those who want her dead, those who want to use her, and those who want her to rule beside them.
