Seventeen-year-old Mea is having the worst year of her life. After losing her father and brother in a tragic accident, she moves to Charleston hoping to heal. But everything changes when she meets two mysterious boys—one the son of a vampire, and the other an ancient predator watching to see if he’ll become something more: a dhampir.

Rhys has spent years living a normal life, unaware of what he truly is. But when a violent vampire attack leaves Mea on the brink of death, he saves her—a mistake that changes her destiny—by turning her into what he is: a dhampir. Half-human. Half-vampire. A born vampire slayer.

Now bound by blood and purpose, Rhys and Mea must navigate their new reality: hunted by vampires who fear them and pulled into a war they never asked for. As their powers grow, so does their connection—but survival means embracing who they are and standing together against the darkness.

Perfect for fans of Vampire Academy, Crave, and Twilight, Shadows Along the Battery is a swoony, beachside paranormal romance with supernatural danger and heartfelt coming-of-age themes.
