ANOKWE (The Blue Blood Moon, Book 1)

BOOK ONE OF THE BLUE BLOOD MOON

For over a century, no vampire has been successfully made. The species is dying - and the oldest law of the blood forbids the turnings that might save it.

Then Reveran Astor breaks that law for love. And it works.

The Council doesn't execute him. They do something far more dangerous: they start asking questions. Because the woman he turned shouldn't have survived - and the reason she did could change the balance of power between two species on the edge of war.

Simonje is Anokwe. Born of werewolves, raised by no one, and now - against every law of nature - a vampire. Her blood carries a marker no living creature should have: intact, undiluted, older than any pack on record. To the Council, she is the first hope in a century. To the Head of House Dracul, she is something else entirely: the foundation of a weapon being built in secret, one that could end the werewolf species before the Blue Blood Moon rises and the packs finish what their ancestors started.

The Council doesn't know the weapon exists. The packs don't know the war has already been declared. And Simonje - moved between Houses, bled for research, owned by an oath she was forced to swear - is starting to realize that everyone telling her she's protected means the same thing: everyone telling her she's useful.

Power, blood, and an ancient moon on a countdown. Someone is going to be extinguished entire.

The blood remembers what everyone else has erased.

This time, it wants to be found.
