Description
Burned. Bitter. Beyond repair.
Vincent Lupo is not a hero. He's a jaded vampire who'd rather drink in peace than tangle with politics. Unfortunately, vampire society is crumbling-history is being rewritten, revenants are marching on London's streets, and both aristocrats and influencers insist Vincent is the mastermind holding it all together.
He isn't. He's just exhausted. And sarcastic. And increasingly, painfully undead.
Now he, Ren, and Mrs Barley must sabotage the rewriting system before it erases them all. But every page turned makes Vincent more vampire than man: garlic burns, daylight sears, and the future looms with fangs bared.
To stop the masquerade of the dead, Vincent will have to embrace what he is-monster, misfit, reluctant saviour-and hope his accidental brilliance holds out one last time.
Because in the end, legends don't get to choose their story. But they do get to choose the punchline.
A darkly funny, genre-bending finale about legacy, found family, and the chaos of unfinished stories.
