All Elder vampires go mad. All, save one. Madness of the Elder Vampire, Book One in the Elder Madness series, isn’t your typical romantic vampire tale. It’s darker, bloodier, and grounded in the raw conflict of today’s world. Adrian Rowe survived Los Angeles by trusting no one. That was before he met Garrick, an Elder vampire who offered protection, power, and a brutal initiation into a world Adrian never imagined. When violence forces them to flee to San Francisco, the city’s underworld proves hungrier than the one they left. Val, a vampire-witch, wants blood for the lover she lost. Thea, a hunter with one name she won’t cross out, is tracking a vampire from her past. And Adrian, caught between Garrick’s heart and his fangs, must decide what loyalty means in a city that feeds on the weak. For fans of contemporary, character-driven drama with high stakes and a not-so-modest dose of magic, this novel delivers a biting take on power, loyalty, and the cost of doing nothing. Book One of the Elder Madness series tackles the real-world themes of class, corruption, and surviving an unjust world through a dark urban-fantasy lens. Sharp tongues, sharper fangs, and plenty of heart waiting to be ripped out.
