Daybreakers meets Sharpe's War in this breathtaking, epic sequel!

Zachariah Garbius was once a Black-Hearted Blinder. Next, he served the primary marshal of Sendya directly, working as a special analyst for the Coil. Now, his old boss is dead, and the Arch Vestry demands his skills for their own use. Zach would like to cut ties with this religious authority of the West completely...but his son's very life hangs in the balance.

When the mother of his son died in childbirth, Zach was left with a desperate situation. As long as the Vestry and the old men of the Triplex possess his heir, they can turn the screws any way they choose. All of this would be complicated enough, but an apocalyptic event has shaken the world completely. Bloodpoachers, crazed vampiric creatures have been transformed by the mysterious meteorites once predicted by the Planetesians. As nations and survivors and religious authorities struggle for supremacy, others merely struggle to survive. However, another dark and ancient evil may be awakening-- one that makes the bloodpoachers look like children.

Zach must search for a cure in the League of Independent Kingdoms, taking him into the heavenly abode of the eccentric inventor, Milek Solphatari. Next, he might just find himself on a new Vestry assignment in the East Unknown, where new colonies are being founded, along with the coveted resources beneath them.

Karina Von Oceanskimmer is dealing with problems of her own, as she weighs her loyalty between the secret women's organization and her superior officer, Elvara, versus her forbidden love for Zachariah Garbius.

Sinister characters like Damon 'Demon' Sayzorius are still on the loose, trying to survive in the countryside, while the ill-fated pimp, Steak Knife, tries to leverage his power over a daughter of the Tamatorri to escape their lair and his terrible fate as a blood slave.

A diverse and eclectic cast of characters attempt to navigate this perilous new world, chock full of flintlock weapons, emerging technologies, political intrigue, forbidden loves, religious fanatics, warring factions, secret societies, and macabre secrets!
