BOOK ONE: DEADLY SYN
arc applications are now open
The Harker Family Institute—the leading authority on world-wide supernatural threats—hangs on by a thread. Financial ruin seems inevitable, a mysterious power-enhancing drug tears through the vampire underground, and the shadows beneath Harker Castle warn of looming danger. It’ll take one desperate mission to save not only their Institute but the very Etherworld itself. Too bad the unit assigned the task might be more trouble than they’re worth.
SYNNOVE LE JACQUES IS A VAMPIRE.
And… struggling.
The top-secret asset of the Harker Family Institute is hidden from her peers and plagued by a vicious bloodlust. Assigned to the Institute’s new covert Ghost unit, Synnove is tasked with hunting down the origins of a vampiric power-enhancing drug alongside a brooding vampire hunter who may be just as desperate to prove she is she what she prays she hasn’t become: a monster.
SPELL WYNN IS A GOOD SOLDIER.
When you’re born into a family of prestigious witches and legendary vampire hunters, being assigned to a unit that includes the very threat your very blood lusts to eradicate isn’t ideal. But Spell knows Synnove may just be their best weapon. If he’s prepared to use her, he cannot let himself see the humanity she clings to—a humanity he’s always believed a vampire could not possess.
KEIALYN HARKER IS... STRESSED.
As the new Head of the Harker Family Institute, this is her only chance to save the family legacy she endangered, and she must gamble on an entirely mad plan to do it. She can’t say which is worse: the looming existential threat that hinges on a generational secret lurking beneath the castle, or the ticking timebomb within her new covert team.
