sadmic
In the neon-drenched, chaotic streets of modern-day Lagos, the divide between the powerless masses and the supernatural elite is razor-thin. By day, Kojo is just another quiet street orphan-clumsy, painfully shy, and hopelessly infatuated with a girl who despises him for reasons he can't understand. He hides his true nature behind a love for garlic-laced jollof rice and pepper soup, foods that make other vampires recoil. The only one who knows his secret is his childhood friend, the last tether to his fading humanity.
But Kojo carries a cursed bloodline. His mother was a vampire, his father a human-and their forbidden love cost them both their lives at the hands of the ruthless Vampire King. Now, Kojo's revenge burns cold beneath his awkward exterior.
When the sun dips below the horizon, the shy boy vanishes. Nightfall awakens the predator within-a cold, calculating vampire with razor instincts and a hunger he loathes. Yet this is merely a prelude to the true horror. At the stroke of midnight, for exactly one terrifying hour, Kojo transcends into an apex predator of god-like, uncontrollable power-shadow-manipulating, blood-forging, and devastatingly unstoppable.
When a ruthless syndicate of corrupt ability-users threatens the only people he has left-his childhood friend and the girl who hates him-Kojo is thrust into a brutal underground war. To reach the Vampire King and avenge his parents, he must deliberately embrace the midnight monster. But each transformation risks the unthinkable: waking up with the blood of his loved ones on his hands.
As his bloodlust grows and the midnight hour draws nearer, Kojo must master his monstrous hunger before the monster inside him destroys the very city-and the people-he is secretly fighting to protect. The clock is ticking. The King is waiting. And at 12:00 AM, Kojo stops being the victim... and becomes the nightmare.
