A Bridge of Vein and Veil

Description

SOME THINGS SURVIVE BY STAYING OUT OF THE RECORD.

In the Scottish river town of Ebonness, Kadryn Deight only wanted a clear shot of the New Year’s fireworks. The old service bridge was quiet, the river black below, and the town lights looked almost harmless through her camera lens.

Then the bridge began to break.

A bite, a fall and a stranger’s intervention leave Kadryn alive in a way she no longer recognises. Taken to an isolated old mill by Cameron Tennit, a biologist with too much control and too many secrets, she learns that vampirism is no myth or curse, but a biological adaptation driven by venom and hunger.

But Ebonness is changing. New lights, cameras, records and digital traces are making it harder for predators to remain hidden, and Kadryn’s survival has already disturbed systems built to erase anything that threatens the secret.

In a town pressed between river, woodland and stone, the night is beginning to fail.

A Bridge of Vein and Veil is the first book in The Dying Dark, an adult dark fantasy series of biological vampires, gothic horror and dangerous immortality.
