All Elder vampires go mad. All, save one.

Adrian Rowe survived homeless on Los Angeles streets by trusting no one. That was before he met Garrick, an Elder vampire who offered a home and a pair of deadly fangs. All he needed in return was his loyalty, and his love.

Forty years and one murder later, Adrian and Garrick flee LA to serve a new hotblooded Elder. But San Francisco is haunted by a hunter on a mission, and a rival vampire with powers beyond his years. One wants Adrian's heart. The other, his life. Garrick promised protection. Instead, he does nothing-even as the silver bullet closes in. Adrian must decide: without Garrick, he has nothing. With Garrick, he's nothing.

Trapped between Garrick's heart and fangs, is loyalty worth the price of Madness?

For fans of Interview with the Vampire who want contemporary stakes and brutal consequences.
