A world created by science. A magically transformed future. And a blood-written destiny.

In a last-ditch effort to save their vision for humanity, the Vanguards, a brilliant but dangerous group of scientists, escape into space after being found guilty of crimes against humanity. Instead of saving humanity, their mission permanently alters it. What starts out as a struggle for survival turns into the catalyst for the creation of a whole new world.

The effects of their decisions reverberate throughout a world dominated by ancient magic, blood-born power and intense ambition nearly two millennia later. Kings come and go. Prophecy marks children. Deadbloods lurk in the shadows, creatures warped by a past that has been forgotten. Here, love is a weapon, loyalty has a cost, and power is always taken rather than given freely.

Sybil is far more dangerous than anyone realizes.

Digory is a man burdened by his love for Sybil.

Rose, Sybil's daughter, struggles to balance her innocence and her destiny.

Each must face truths buried long before their time and decide who they will become when fate stops offering them choices.

The first book explores identities, worlds and secrets that have the capacity to alter everything. It descends into the darkness that transforms us and lingers in the moments that define our humanity.

By the last few pages, everything has changed, revealing a world that is far more fascinating, deadlier and deeper than anyone could have dreamed.

The first book of Dead Blood: Volume I is about discovery. The discovery of worlds, of truths and of oneself. It's about the quiet moments that make people human and the dark moments that change them forever.

By the end, you'll feel the story shifting beneath your feet, pulling you deeper into a universe that refuses to let go.

The journey starts here.
