– M.T. O’Neill


“There’s only one rule in the vampire world. The one that human stories get right; you never kill your own kind. It’s the unforgivable crime. It’s the one rule we all abide by.”


The cobbled, winding streets and alleys of Edinburgh’s Old Town harbour a dark and deadly secret. Disappearances in the city are increasing at an alarming rate and the authorities are helpless to stop them.

Danny, a naïve 19 year old is plunged headfirst into the frightening and deadly world of the supernatural when, whilst walking through the historic Fleshmarket Close, his older sister Aurelia is attacked and abducted in front of him. Injured during the abduction, and now with a permanent disability, Danny must hunt for her attacker if he is to discover Aurelia’s fate.

Mercy is a 600-year-old loner vampire who is as jaded with the vampire community as she is with humans. However, when an unusually bloodthirsty and reckless nest of vampires move to Edinburgh and start feeding from the poor and homeless, Mercy becomes increasingly desperate to stop them.

A coincidental meeting unites Danny and Mercy. She needs him to do what she cannot: kill the vampires. He needs her to help him overcome his seemingly overwhelming obstacles and become a feared vampire hunter. Together they set off into the unknown with just one certainty; if they fail, not only will Aurelia remain lost, Danny, Mercy, and many of the city’s most helpless will die.
