Daywalker: Blood & Steam

By S Black

Blood. Steam. Betrayal. Only one monster walks out alive.

When Miss Țepeș walks away from the Vanguard, she knows it isn't freedom-it's a summons. Her family, the ancient and ruthless Țepeș clan, has called her home to Romania. But what awaits her beneath the decaying monasteries and iron towers of Bucharest isn't family-it's a labyrinth built to break her mind, body, and soul.

Haunted by betrayal, hunted by her bloodline, and drawn into a nightmare of machines and monsters, Miss Țepeș faces a choice that will redefine her forever: die as their experiment-or rise as their greatest weapon.

As darkness spreads across Europe and the Vanguard teeters on collapse, the girl they forged in shadow must become the thing they fear most.

Because you can't cage what was born to hunt.

DAYWALKER: BLOOD & STEAM is a neo-gothic horror that straddles dark steampunk & gaslamp dread and dominates them.

Content notes: violence, body horror (surgical/biomechanical), cult/family abuse, vampiric themes.

For readers of: Gideon the Ninth, The Infernal Devices, Mexican Gothic, The Faithful and the Fallen's brutality, and the red-lit romance of classic vampire myth-minus the romance.
