A misfired firework. A collapsing bridge. Teeth in her neck.
Kadryn Deight moved to Ebonness for quiet work and clean air. On New Year's Eve, she goes out to photograph the town's fireworks - and wakes in an old mill with a stranger watching her bleed.
Cameron Tennit calls it transition. And he gives her the only rule worth trusting: once fresh human blood touches her tongue, the reflex takes over.
Ebonness is the worst place to be reborn. The council is replacing amber streetlights with harsh LEDs and expanding CCTV. The old dark is dying - while a hidden order scrubs mistakes that could prove vampires exist.
To survive, Kadryn must learn to hunt without being seen, erase her trail, and decide what she becomes... before hunger decides for her.
You'll love this if you want:
An atmospheric Scottish Gothic, grounded in a sharp, biological take on vampirism
A tense vampire-versus-technology story, where the modern world is the real daylight
Modern surveillance, secret enforcers, and the politics of staying myth
Visceral transformation, moral stakes, and escalating danger
A Bridge of Vein and Veil is Book One of The Dying Dark trilogy.
Includes scenes of blood and violence.
