Vampires. Semi-immortal, schemers, violent. Life inside a vampire nest is never easy. For many, power means everything and loyalty means nothing. Danger is everywhere – from demons, from other vampire nests, and even from nest-mates. For this nest in particular, life is even harder. The previous Lord, Draven, was especially cruel and ruled with absolute power. Those who survived his reign now struggle to adapt to their new Lord. Many are edging toward blood lust, a total lack of control that would lead to execution. Hope exists in the form of Blood Mates, humans who are mates to vampires and can supply them with plenty of high quality blood as well as companionship. Such mates are protection against ennui and blood lust. Yet finding a Blood Mate comes with its own problems. Once a vampire identifies their Blood Mate, they are forever unable to feed from anyone else. Finding a Blood Mate is complicated. Keeping one is a challenge. Losing one is unthinkable.
