Some call him a monster. Some call him mercy.
Drayton once believed he was a vampire. He doesn’t know what he is. Or why he has lived for thousands of years. He takes not his victim’s blood but the silky essence of their soul during their last breath. Often mistaken for the Angel of Death, his victims sometimes ask for forgiveness. Sometimes he delivers. After all, he is not without sin.
When he discovers Andrew Drummond dying on the roadside, he does what he must. But in Andrew’s final breath comes a plea. Not for life, but vengeance. In that fleeting exchange of soul and memory, Drayton feels Andrew’s torment. The betrayal. The cruelty. The man who destroyed everything.
And Drayton makes a promise.
He will hunt down the source of Andrew’s suffering. He will make him feel every moment of the pain he inflicted. He will deliver a justice only a creature like Drayton can provide.
Because some souls deserve peace. And some deserve him.
Perfect for fans of Interview with the Vampire, The Sandman, and The Dresden Files, this dark supernatural thriller blends immortal mythology with gritty moral justice. Drayton delivers a chilling portrait of a creature who walks the razor’s edge between savior and executioner, offering mercy to the dying and damnation to those who deserve true suffering.
