In the dying light of medieval Spain, something ancient and evil stalks the dusty roads. When three vampire assassins slaughter a royal caravan, two mysterious knights in faded crusader tunics emerge from the darkness—not to prey, but to protect.

Ricardo and his son Stefan are reclusive Spanish noblemen, and vampires bound by an iron code: defend their lands, hunt the hunters, protect the innocent. But when King Alfonso summons them to face Malik al-Zahir—a terrifying vampire lord bent on conquering Europe—they must choose between the safety of isolation and a war that could consume their very souls.

As Malik's thralls multiply and his psychic powers enslave Spanish nobles, father and son become the Crown's secret weapons. But fighting monsters when you share their curse demands a terrible price. And Malik knows their weakness.

Medieval horror meets dark fantasy in this visceral tale of honor, bloodlust, and the razor's edge between monster and man.
