Three days after his murder, Child wakens on his deathbed with no memories and many unanswerable questions. Stumbling deep into a surreal and supernatural world, it only took him one bite to learn what he has become. It will take the wisdom of a few seasoned vampires to show him what to make of his dark gifts in an even darker world. Torn between seeking vengeance for his own murder and rejecting his lost and forgotten life, Child will take to the shadows, seeking purpose beneath his grim surface, discovering what he must do to be at peace, and learning along the way that humans can be the biggest monsters of all.
Robert Southey didn?t always believe in vampires?not until tragedy ruined his life and opened his eyes, ten years ago. Now, he's a vengeful vampire hunter in search of the one who wronged him, leading his two sons, and a small circle of men, through the dirty alleys and abandoned lots of the city. But hunting is hard. Vampires are not like the creatures conjured up by lore, and when murders and disappearances go unreported by police, it becomes frustratingly harder?especially since everyone believes Southey is just a crazy old man. When a psychic acquaintance claims to ?see things? through vampires? eyes, the desperate hunter will hatch a murderous plot. But when a deadly encounter with a legendary vampire witch haunts his every waking thought, Southey may go insane before he tastes his coveted revenge.
