Homicide Detective Ayameko Shi is used to keeping people at a distance unless you count the ghosts that have plagued her since she was a child. As a necromancer, Meko has grown used to being unwanted, unloved and hated by all beings, especially vampires. Except there’s one vampire who Meko is drawn to, like a moth to a blazing flame. One whose moves she’s constantly watching, with and without his consent.
Vampire King Nikolai is used to his name striking fear in anyone around him. As a man that’s been around for centuries, he solves all his problems with bloody deaths. Killing someone in his way is the norm for this king. Recently, two issues have plagued his mind, twisting his thoughts until a plan forms inside his deranged head.
Over the last year, vampires have been disappearing all over the city of the undead, Deadstown. If they were killed, he would have found their remains by now. Or as the master vampire, he would have felt their ultimate death, except it’s been nothing but crickets. His second problem is short, irritating, beautiful and can raise the dead. Nikolai has always believed that ‘the only good necromancer is a dead one.’ And yet he can’t deny that Meko intrigues him.
When Nikolai makes Meko an offer she can’t quite refuse, she finds herself whisked away to another city and living another life. Only this time as his fiancée. Can a necromancer and a vampire find the missing vampires in a city full of the dead? Or will the vampires of Deadstown turn on their future queen?
