Buffy Tepes has spent decades running-from her name, her past, and the monstrous legacy of her family. But Bucharest has called her home, and this time, there's no escape. The Tepes dynasty is more than just old money and older power. They don't just drink blood-they trade it, refine it, and turn it into something far worse. In the depths of their labyrinthine estate, behind walls that breathe and doors that should never open, the family's darkest secrets wait for her return. Buffy never wanted to be a part of their world. But now, the streets of Bucharest are whispering her name, and the old traditions won't let her slip away again. She must decide-become the monster they raised her to be or burn it all to the ground. And where is Calvin? A modern fresh steampunk horror thriller dripping with blood, betrayal, and the kind of family drama that leaves scars. Perfect for fans of gothic nightmares.
