Ruby Smith has forged a path for herself in the vices of the Roaring Twenties. She's been on her own since she was a teenager, and she likes it that way. When her path crosses with mafia boss, Vlad Teppes, and his underworld of the undead, it becomes frightfully clear that the world of Dracula, while drastically exaggerated in the novel, is real.
Not only that, but their leader, Vlad, has a bite that's as addicting as it is dangerous, and he has his eye on her.
Celebrate Halloween by sinking your teeth into this darkly romantic prequel from The Old Bloods' author, Anna Lascaux.
