For nearly two thousand years, Keres Galanis has walked the night.

She has outlived empires. Buried lovers. Held the line between predator and protector while the world changed around her. But when her brother Silas dies under impossible circumstances, Keres uncovers a truth that could shatter everything the undead believe about themselves: vampires are not truly immortal. They have an expiration date. And hers is three months away.

Desperate for answers, Keres is drawn back to Greece — the ancient homeland she abandoned centuries ago — alongside Lazarius Barba, a charismatic vampire historian and the one man she swore she'd never trust again. Together, they must track down the lost record of vampire origins, one thought to be lost to time.

But Keres isn't the only one hunting. Tristan, a scarred and vengeful vampire armed with weapons capable of killing their kind, is closing in behind her. And the deeper Keres digs into the past, the more she realizes the truth of what she is may be far older — and far more dangerous — than any legend.

Some secrets were buried for a reason.
