To Save the World, They May Have to Become Its Monsters…

Mara

Sorin Kavish sacrificed himself to save us.

Now I'm going to tear the world apart to get him back.

Every ruined city and abandoned laboratory leads us deeper into Project Renew's horrors. They aren't merely creating vampires anymore. They're building something worse—and Sorin may be helping them do it.

I refuse to believe he's become the monster I once thought he was.

Not when I know the man beneath the blood and fangs. The ancient warrior who protects our strange little family. The vampire I trust more than anyone.

The vampire I love.

Sorin

Katerina Cross believes she has broken me.

She believes I'll command her army, slaughter her enemies, and help perfect the experiments that could reshape what remains of the world.

For now, I need her to believe it.

Because Mara is still out there, searching for me with all the recklessness and fury that made loving her inevitable. If Cross discovers what she means to me, Mara won't merely become a target.

She'll become leverage.

A cure may finally be within our reach, but salvation has never come without blood. And before this is over, one of us may be forced to sacrifice far more than our humanity.
