Martha Harms

A hard-boiled female detective has to solve a murder plot orchestrated by vampires.

Empress Eura, ruler of the distant world of Adin, faces her greatest challenge when she is forced to choose between trusting or killing a mysterious monster who arrives with a warning that could save or destroy her people.

She's gone and he knows that he doesn't have much time. His legs are giving out, but they'll last. They'll last long enough to get there, and that's all that matters. It doesn't matter that those creatures will come for his body.
