The Story

A monster hunter has one night to keep the oldest vampire in town from drinking the one girl whose blood would make him unstoppable.

Lance hunts the things that hunt people. When he pulls a girl out of the jaws of a werewolf in the woods, he learns she isn’t just anybody: she carries the blood of Vivica, one of the first vampires. And Count Draven, one of the original three, and the monster who took Lance’s father, needs every drop of it for a ritual at the Temple of the Crimson Moon.

With a priest who knows more than he says, a vampire named Morgan who serves a rival master, a silver-loaded pistol and a sword he may have to turn on someone he loves, Lance walks into the night the Crimson Moon rises.
