London’s vampires are hungry — and Juniper St. James is running out of time.

1892. The dead rule the night, and Juniper is at their mercy. She’s a witch with fatal secrets — truths that could destroy her mother and shatter their future.

A dark prophecy and vicious rumors have ruined her reputation. Cast out of polite society, she joins the underworld’s outcasts, learning to survive the slums where Jack the Ripper roams… and where even worse monsters hunt in the shadows.

One of them has her heart.

Lucas Crawford is exactly the wrong person to love — a dangerously charming vampire whose family would kill her if they knew her secret. As Juniper navigates mental asylums, finishing school, and a murder investigation, she’s caught between hidden enemies, false friends, and a relentless Scotland Yard detective.

Can she rise above her scandalous past, or will darker temptations claim her soul?

Victorian London drips with gaslight, blood, and secrets in this slow-burn gothic fantasy perfect for fans of dangerous romance and dark magic.
