Ten years ago, the Red Rain fell, and the world was reborn in blood. Civilization is a graveyard haunted by "Freaks"-the feral, mindless victims of a vampiric plague. They are the masters of this broken world, and humanity is their cattle. Levin Graves is a ghost, a scavenger who thrives in the ruins where others perish. Born with a unique genetic flaw, he is invisible to the Freaks, a biological null-space that doesn't register as prey. For a decade, he has survived by adhering to one simple, brutal rule: never get involved. His solitude shatters when he stumbles upon a Freak nest and discovers a woman caged within, kept alive as a living blood bag. The woman is Kreya, a "Sane"-one of the rare, conscious vampires who retained her mind. In a reckless moment of humanity, Levin frees her, slaughtering the nest and breaking his only rule. The act forges a dangerous bond between them. Kreya is a beacon, her powerful blood drawing Freaks for miles, while Levin is a ghost who walks among them. To survive, they must rely on a dark, intimate sacrament: her survival now depends on his blood, a temporary cure for the feral madness that threatens to consume her. Hunted by Kreya's former masters from the Aerie-a hidden enclave of vampire aristocrats who want their property back-and pursued by a human death cult that worships the plague, Levin and Kreya uncover a terrifying truth. The apocalypse was not random. It was a culling. Now, their desperate flight for survival has become a hunt. Armed with the secrets of their enemies, they must fight a war on two fronts. But in a world where the greatest threat is not the monsters who want to drink your blood but the ones who want to control your future, can a ghost and a fallen queen save humanity from itself? Fans of Stake Land, The Passage, and I Am Legend will love this gritty, fast-paced, and scientific take on the vampire apocalypse
