A city of saints and monsters.

In the haunted sprawl of Blackmere, where neon-lit cathedrals loom over crumbling ruins and the Sanctum's prayers are broadcast through every street, something ancient is stirring beneath the skin of the city.

Malachy Bauer is a vampire who doesn't want to be alive. Hunted by memory, and desperate to forget the sins of his past, he drifts through the Lament Quarter like a ghost in his own skin. But when a failed feeding ends with a warning instead of a stake through the heart, he finds himself bound to someone even more dangerous than he is.

Ronan Ashford is a vampire hunter trained to kill without hesitation-until his brother is turned into something unrecognizable. Ronan must ally with the last creature he ever expected: the vampire who should've died at his hands.

When the Sanctum's experiments begin warping both man and monster into something far worse, Malachy and Ronan are forced into a fragile truce. Their survival depends on unraveling the mystery of the Sanctum's true purpose.

A slow-burn, gothic romance between a monster and the man who was trained to end him, Ashes of Eternity is a story about survival, sacrifice, and the fragile hope that love might still bloom in the ruins.

Perfect for fans of The Last Hours by Cassandra Clare, The Locked Tomb series, The Witcher, or Castlevania, this queer dark fantasy blends emotional intimacy, political intrigue, and a love story buried in grief, trauma, and devotion.
