Entering Nocturne

By Mya Rusch

Samael is a millennia-old vampire, unhinged and hardened by endless betrayal. Lovers have deceived him, allies have turned on him, and trust has long since rotted into something cruel. He survives on instinct and fury, convinced that anything soft is destined to betray him.

Then he meets Mateo.

At twenty-one, Mateo is a rare and unusual species-one Samael immediately recognizes. Soft, kind, and deeply afraid of touch, Mateo is everything Samael is not. Where Samael is violent and untamed, Mateo is gentle and hesitant, his power quiet but undeniable.

They are opposite sides of a coin-immortal darkness and fragile light-yet somehow, the monster learns restraint, and the frightened boy learns courage in his presence.

But a millennia-old enemy from Samael's past knows exactly what Mateo is-and if it has been watching them both all along, what will it do when it decides to claim what Samael refuses to lose?
