Vampires that actually exist, love stories that shouldn't happen but do, complex adult relationships, brothers that have had each other's backs for centuries, a wealthy human family who abhors loyalty, a lonely and brilliant scientist who hasn't discovered who she really is, villains who will stop at nothing, psychopaths who need to feed on pain, a horse chase in Wyoming, a wedding in Greece, dinner at a London private club, worlds that shouldn't exist, and a best friend who is not what you expected at all.
A brilliant scientist on the run for her life.
An enigmatic vampire desperate for a scientific breakthrough.
A glance across a train station changes both their lives.
Dominic Loukas, a vampire of restraint and rare powers, moves through the modern world like a myth in a tailored suit; hunted, haunted, and yet always in control.
Until Iris.
A scientist with a keen mind and sharp instincts, Iris never expected her research to mark her as a target. When brutal murders shatter her lonely life, she flees to New York City.
Her broken family empire and the unknown secrets in her blood put her at the center of explosive conflicts.
When cryptic messages, murders, and the resurgence of the vampires' ancient enemy, The Order, begin to unravel more than a century of peace, Dominic and Iris find themselves drawn into each other's worlds with something dangerously close to love.
But desire and love are never simple, and blood never lies, especially when it might be the only thing that can either save them or doom them.
Set against the contrasting backdrops of Manhattan's concrete veins, Wyoming's wide-open prairies, London's aristocratic haunts, and Greece's sun-drenched cliffs, Blood Code Book 1 is a slow-burn gothic romance of love, power, loyalty, family, and the cost of survival in a world where the old ways never truly die.
Book I is Lessa Elden's debut. Book II - Bindweed - coming soon.
Content Warning: Contains mature themes, explicit sexual content, and violence depicted within a broader context. Recommended for adult readers (18+)
