Narain Khan was 25 when he left his
native India to fight in the trenches of
the Western Front during WWI. It was
his hope that he could stay on after the
war to pursue his dream of studying the
culinary arts and becoming a world class
chef.
Instead, he fell to shrapnel amidst the
carnage of that bitter war. Carnage
which, when darkness fell, attracted
something terrifying: A roaming pack of
feral vampires–mindless feeders–who
fell upon the soldiers left wounded and
dying in No Man’s Land.
Attacked by the ferals, Narain was
transformed into the other type of vampire: A sentient capable of moving
about in society with only a few restrictions and able to feed without killing
the host.
Present Day: Chicago, U.S.
After the death of his long-term partner
and food source Sophie from cancer,
Narain, now a successful chef and
businessman, albeit with an unusual set
of problems that make life in “normal”
society difficult, has reached a
crossroads in his life as a sentient
vampire.
His growing attraction to Cassie
Lambert, a scientist with an unexpected
link to his past, the re-emergence of
Reginald Jameson, his old captain in
WWI and now a sadistic predator who
shares the night with Narain, and a new,
terrifying breed of vampire; Boris, a
monster who destroys everything in his
path. All these events will conspire to
drag Narain into a climacti c struggle.
Now let’s shine the spotlight on Laura!
