Meet Leander: lover, fighter, liar.

He learnt a long time ago that nothing is as intoxicating as blood. But whether it's his of someone else's doesn't matter any more. There's a mysterious pain in every muscle of his body – and it's got so bad that he'll do anything to escape it.

Up to now, it's been his secret. But it's hard to remain invisible when you leave a trail of destruction everywhere you do go. So, when he comes to the attention of one of London's most infamous criminals, Leander decides to put his appetite for violence to the ultimate test.

Let the villain win.

'Jonathan Lyon has written the best gay debut novel in YEARS' Johann Hari

'[Leander is] a heartless hero for the millennial generation' Standpoint magazine
