Either my whole village dies… or I make the ultimate sacrifice.

As the son of our village’s shaman, I’m expected to marry a virgin bride. But I only have eyes for pregnant widow Ava, who is off-limits for me.

And because life isn’t twisted enough, I get another curveball thrown at me…

Plagued by a dark vision, my father binds my soul to my body in an attempt to save me from the worst of what might await. But I’m not relying on a ritual to save myself—I’m going to find out what he saw… and stop it. 

Soon I come to realize there’s no way I’ll get out of this mess alive.

When vampires attack our village, the vampire Queen offers me a terrible choice—one with implications for more than just the survival of Ava and the rest of my clan.  

If I give into the Queen’s demands, I’ll spend an eternity of darkness at her side as the very thing I despise most. With everything and everyone I love at stake, I’d gladly give my life to save my village.

But can I condemn the rest of the world to the monster I’ll become?

This is the prequel to the Bloodmoon Wars series.
