The Monster He Became

The Monster He Became

Book 2 of The Man That Shouldn't Exist

Six months ago, Julian Sinclair vanished.

After the worst mission ever, Natasha Romanoff and the Avengers searched for answers about the mysterious immortal who fought beside them. Instead, they found a trail of bodies scattered across Europe-victims drained of blood, witnesses describing a ruthless blond predator with no mercy and no remorse.

What they don't know is that Julian isn't acting alone.

Taken by the vampire who created him, the legendary Katherine Pierce, Julian has been forced back into a world he spent centuries trying to escape. With his humanity switched off, the guilt, compassion, and conscience that once made him different are gone, leaving behind a predator feared even by other vampires.

As Natasha and Wanda Maximoff race across continents hunting the monster they believe Julian has become, Katherine revels in the chaos she has unleashed. Together, they leave destruction in their wake, while rumors spread of an ancient vampire powerful enough to rival gods and superheroes alike.

But deep beneath the bloodshed and darkness, something impossible begins to stir.

Fragments of the man Julian once was.

Memories.

Regret.

Hope.

As his humanity fights to return, Julian finds himself trapped between the monster Katherine wants him to be and the man the Avengers still believe might be worth saving.

To find his way home, he'll have to survive the woman who made him immortal.

And if Katherine discovers the truth-that Julian's humanity is returning-she may destroy him before he ever gets the chance.

In a world of heroes, gods, and monsters, the greatest battle Julian Sinclair will ever face is the war for his own soul.
