His partner, August Sullivan, is a reluctant vampire with a preacher's guilt and a thirst he can't quite drown. Together, they navigate a city cracking under the weight of corruption, secrets, and something far older than politics.When a string of gruesome murders rocks Atlanta- victims left heartless and drained, posed like offerings- Quinn and Sullivan are pulled into a case steeped in blood, myth, and madness.
