In the shadowed ruins of a world ravaged by demons and plague, Wolfe, an ex-Navy Seal turned vampire, faces his most personal mission yet. Tasked with leading a group of survivors to a safe haven in Kentucky, he grapples with more than just the loss of communication with his group; he's haunted by parts of his past he can't recall and a future he didn't choose.
Aurora, waking up as a vampire with fragmented memories, discovers that Wolfe, the man she once loved, is responsible for her transformation.
