Sergeant Dominique Davis is one of Newark PD’s best—disciplined, relentless, and known for control under pressure. But control means nothing the night she’s bitten by a mysterious vampire named Clemence.

What follows isn’t a slow descent. It’s a collapse.

When Dominique loses herself and kills a nurse in a brutal, blood-fueled frenzy, her spotless record is erased in an instant. The badge that once defined her now makes her a target. Branded a violent fugitive, she becomes Public Enemy Number One—not just for what she’s done, but for what she’s becoming.

Clemence offers her a truth she can’t ignore: Dominique isn’t alone, and she isn’t the real enemy.

A militarized vampire-hunting force is already moving—organized, ruthless, and led by Royal Executor IV Lucy Engleman, a woman who has turned extermination into doctrine. To them, vampires aren’t people. They’re a problem to be erased.

Caught between her oath and her instincts, Dominique is forced into an impossible choice: uphold the law that now hunts her, or side with the very creatures she was trained to destroy.
