A brilliant scientist on the run for her life.
A formidable vampire who needs a scientific solution.
A mutual glance across a train station changes everything.
Dominic Loukás, a vampire of rare powers and restraint, moves through society like a myth in a tailored suit - hunted, haunted, and always in control.
Until Iris.
Two murders cause Iris to flee her lonely life for New York City, where unknown secrets in her blood threaten her future. The mutual glance pulls Iris and Dominic into each other's worlds and toward something dangerously close to love. But blood never lies, and what begins between them may not survive. Dominic knows the closer he draws to her, the closer something older and darker will draw to Iris.
Iris, Book I of the Blood Code series, features an expansive cast in a world that feels both modern and ancient. It is a sweeping saga of love, mystery, wealth, greed, deceit, broken and found families, and lives becoming increasingly entangled and endangered.
Set in Manhattan's concrete veins, Wyoming's wind-swept prairies, London's aristocratic haunts, and the sun-drenched cliffs of Greece's Peloponnese. Iris is a slow-burning romance within a hostile world where old traditions still shed blood.
Lessa Elden writes from Wyoming with a taste for gritty cinematic tension. Iris is her debut novel and the first book of her Blood Code series. Bindweed, Book II, is next.Content warning: this book contains explicit mature scenes with sex and violence - intended for adult readers (18+).Book I is Lessa's debut; Book II, Bindweed, is coming soon.Blood Conceals.
