I killed my first vampire at the age of five. They locked me away for years, said I was crazy, that I’d made it all up. But I know what really happened and what could happen again if I don’t play it safe.
Something dark lives within me, and it’s clawing to get out. I’ve exiled myself to the Alaskan tundra, knowing that as long as I stay out of the heat, there won’t be any wildfires.
When a death in the family summons me to the town I fled long ago, Maxxan, Texas, I have no choice but to go pay my respects. But that’s all it can be. In and out. There and back.
But my late grandmother had other ideas. To satisfy the conditions of her will, I’m expected to remain in town for one full year. I’m just about to give up on learning my family’s long-kept secrets and obtaining my sizable inheritance, when I’m found out.
The Enforcers know who I am; they also know what happened all those years ago.
