They took his blood. They took half his soul. Now they want his family.

LAPD Detective Kel Langston survived being half-turned into a creature that drinks blood and consumes souls. He survived the ancient Taker who sired him. He even survived bonding with a rogue vampire named Ray, a bond that gave Kel a taste of something he’d never allowed himself to feel.

Home.

Now the bond is broken. Ray is alive, but changed. And Kel’s makeshift family—a sarcastic teenage Half-Turn named Jess and a gay ex-porn star turned reluctant warrior named Levi—is all that’s keeping him from losing himself completely.

When a series of brutal murders draws Kel back into a cold case he never solved, he discovers the killer isn’t human. Neither is the woman who just tried to kidnap Jess. And the ancient Taker who created Kel is still pulling strings that Kel can’t see.

Francisco wants him to lead an army of Half-Turns. Lilah, Ray’s original sire, wants something far worse. And Kel’s temporary human partner, a rookie cop named Lucy Gaiman, is asking questions that could get her killed.

The only way to protect his family is to become the monster they already fear he is.
