Synthetic Veins & Dead Circuits

By Darrell Evans

An elite soldier left for dead. An ancient vampire crime lord running the grid. In the neon-drenched ruins of Neo-Chicago, survival requires a dangerous new alliance.

Commander Valerie Thorne was the best tactical strike leader on the corporate payroll-until her superiors executed a command override that vaporized her entire squad to cover up a horrific bio-tech lab failure. Wounded, disavowed, and hunted by her own division's liquidation teams, she strips away her heavy military exo-armor and dives off the grid into the lawless underbelly of Sector 4.

Waiting in the rain-slicked shadows is Lord Cassian Drake. Masquerading as a sleek shadow CEO, Drake is an ancient Gen-1 vampire ruling a criminal syndicate of black-market tech and illegal blood cartels. He's been waging a shadow war against Aethel-Biotech, a corrupt megacorporation harvesting ancient vampire blood to build an immortality serum for the dying corporate elite.

When Val collapses in his territory holding the data keys to the corporation's most sensitive secrets, Cassian's dominant, possessive instincts spark instantly. Forced into a proximity-heavy, high-friction blood alliance, the independent tactical soldier must learn to move within the vampire's lethal shadow to secure her vengeance.

As Aethel-Biotech unleashes the Ghoul Legion-feral, bio-engineered super-soldiers wired directly to digital code-Val and Cassian must combine military precision with supernatural shadow mechanics to execute a high-stakes cyber-heist on a secure penthouse vault. But the deeper Val dives into the dark, the more she uncovers a terrifying secret tying her own military implants to the trauma inflicted on Cassian decades ago.

SYNTHETIC VEINS & DEAD CIRCUITS is a high-octane, cross-genre novel blending heavy military sci-fi, gritty street-level crime noir, and a dark, adversarial slow-burn romance. Engineered into a fast-paced dual-part structure, this gritty techno-thriller features explosive action, deep world-building, and an unyielding psychological bond forged in iron and blood.
