Bloodthirst doesn’t stop when the dead inhabit the earth. But it does mean adapting how it’s filled. With the dead roaming free and a band of armed humans out to put an end to his eternal life, the vampire Dorian creates a sanctuary far from town. With human captives, fresh blood is always available. But his problems don’t stop there and reconnecting with his brood consumes him. He sets his sights on a neighboring town with the promise of finding answers. Stumbling on a group of children, the survivors force him to reconsider a vow he made after his daughter’s death. The apocalypse has destroyed the old ways, and soon he must choose between his lust for blood and a moral code he’s sworn to obey. One challenge after another strikes at his heart and stomach as he’s forced to make awful decisions. But Dorian does know this… Blood will be shed. His convictions…challenged. And his future…questionable.

Scavenging for blood is difficult. Feeding two is nearly impossible. Dorian is no longer alone in the world of the undead. Now with someone under his protection, hunting for food consumes him. But the constant threat of the Nightwalkers forces Dorian to change his plans…and someone is going to pay. A final showdown challenges everything Dorian believes in. It will end in freedom…or his death. He must make a stand. But more than anything, he must protect what’s his at all costs. A battle looms and with corpses walking freely, there’s never a safe place.
