Blood in the Open World

(The Moonlight Accord, Book Two)

The truth is out—and it's made the world more dangerous.

After the exposure of werewolves and the collapse of the secret systems that controlled them, humanity faces a new reality: monsters are real, and power no longer hides quietly. As governments scramble to regulate what they barely understand, a far older presence steps into the light.

Vampires.

Not mythic predators, but ancient architects of influence who have shaped economies, governments, and wars from the shadows for centuries. To them, blood is not sustenance—it is information. And instability is something to be corrected, not debated.

When a powerful vampire faction begins offering "voluntary stability" to frightened cities, crime drops, panic fades, and people disappear without a trace. Their leader believes control is mercy—and that consent is an inefficiency the world can no longer afford.

Ethan Cross stands in opposition, even as the line he swore never to cross is forced beneath his feet. When rogue vampires begin openly killing civilians, Ethan makes a choice that changes everything—ending a predator to save a child, and proving that restraint alone cannot stop extinction-level violence.

Now hunted by extremists, watched by governments, and feared by those who once believed in him, Ethan must navigate a war where every victory carries moral consequence. Alongside Mara Vance and an unlikely vampire ally willing to betray his own kind, Ethan confronts the most dangerous question yet:

Is a controlled world safer than a free one?
