Young and tenacious journalist Xavier Styx is barely hanging on, facing eviction and drowning in unpaid bills. His life is a whirlwind of missed deadlines, sorrow and exhaustion, yet he finds interest in the allure of the possible links between a series of murders and 18th-century vampiric folklore.
Thrust into a secretive society bound by blood and ancient rites, Xavier discovers a "family" unlike any he's ever known-a family intertwined with pain, suffering, deceit, and betrayal. As he navigates this new reality, he finds himself haunted by the unsettling truth of recent murders that defy explanation, and the growing fear that his curiosity may lead to his undoing.
Xavier grapples with his own identity. Will he hold on to his sense of self, or will he succumb to the ancient, merciless forces that seek to consume him?
