From his childhood on the dangerous streets of Shadycreek Run to his years living off the grid and learning blood magic from the Claret Orders, the charismatic blood hunter will find a way to get the upper hand.

Intrigued by this opportunity, Lucien pores over the journal--but the more he reads, the stranger things become. The nine whisper to him in dreams and waking visions. Time slips away, along
