Meet Lawson: A cynical, wise-cracking vampire charged with protecting the Balance—the secret existence of a race of living vampires that have evolved alongside humanity for thousands of years.
A fixer. Part-spy, and part-commando—James Bond with fangs. Lawson mixes shrewd cunning with unmatched lethality to get his job done. He tries his best to dismantle conspiracies, dispatch bad guys, and live long enough to get home.
Arvella: A power-hungry member of the vampire governing body, the Council. She wants absolute power and will stop at nothing to get it. Even if it means kidnapping a child.
Jack: Naive and innocent, but filled with an awesome power to conjure the spirits of dead vampires and make them do his bidding. When his father is mistakenly killed, Jack is alone. Unprotected.
Petrov: A traitor to the cause, bent to Arvella's will, he'll do anything she asks.
Now Lawson's got one chance to rescue Jack—even if it means traveling halfway around the world to do it.
