In a world of darkness where royal vampires are in charge， I spend my days working as a knight in the city formerly known as London。 Instead of a lance and a horse， I rely on my trusty axe， Babe， and ride the occasional dragon。 Every day new threats emerge that require a dash of magic and a dollop of attitude。

Good thing I have both。

Naturally danger comes with the territory。 What no one knows is just how dangerous it is for me。 If our vampire overlords discover what I am， they’ll execute me on the spot—no questions asked—which is why I avoid them at all costs。

Until now。

If only this one didn’t have a lethal reputation， a princely pedigree， and a quest that leads to more questions than answers。 The heat between us doesn’t help matters。

Unfortunately I can’t refuse a royal command， so I’m stuck until the job is complete。

And even if the job doesn’t kill me， the truth just might。
