Summary

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Be careful of the waters you tread in, Mr. Crawford because you might become the very thing that lurks beneath." In the gritty underworld of London, Rhazien Crawford leads a double life. By day, he works as a detective, solving crimes and bringing justice to the streets. But by night, he is a vampire hunter battling the undead and protecting the innocent from their bloodthirsty clutches. One night, Rhazien's usual hunt takes a dark turn when he stumbles upon a child caught in the middle of a massacre. Unable to leave the boy to his fate, Rhazien takes him under his wing until Van Helsing Inc. can find him a safe home. But as he delves deeper into the child's past, Rhazien discovers that he is the son of Lord Ravenwood, the notorious crime boss of London. Now, Rhazien must decide between his duty as a detective and his duty as a vampire hunter. With time running out and his morals at stake, he must find a way to liberate London from the grip of corruption and protect the kid at all costs. Will he overcome the darkness within and emerge victorious, or will he succumb to the shadows and become the very thing he hunts? Only time will tell in this thrilling tale of danger, intrigue, and battle between a hunter and the creatures of the night.
