Somewhere south of nowhere, in the sweltering heat and shadowed streets of 1950s New Orleans, a vampire wakes-half-dead, wholly lost, and carrying centuries of secrets. Zythe Soney has survived longer than most could imagine, but survival has never taught him how to live.
Akeem Kohen is a man of the earth, a cowboy grounded in sweat, soil, and stubborn courage. When fate-and circumstance-drops Zythe into his fields, Akeem doesn't flinch. Instead, he offers shelter, patience, and the kind of quiet understanding Zythe hasn't felt in a hundred and sixty years.
As nights stretch long and the humid Southern air hums with secrets, Zythe and Akeem navigate a world that isn't ready for men like them. Hunger, danger, and centuries of solitude test their boundaries, but slowly, inevitably, something grows between them: a connection that is tender, complicated, and undeniable.
