Moskvin's Box

Some monsters are forged in blood. Others are left to starve in the dark.

In this first novel of the vampire series Darkness Now Rose, see the world through their immortal eyes.

Before he ever became a vampire, Viktor slaughtered his own family, leaving with nothing but what he could carry in an old steamer trunk-and his sire repaid his bloodlust with abandonment.

Decades later, as World War II consumes Europe, Viktor crosses paths with Walter, a calculating German captain. Their uneasy association spirals into a deadly power struggle neither can control.

But the past doesn't stay buried.

In present-night New York, Viktor encounters Dmitri, a fellow vampire who knows the old stories-stories that name Viktor as a monster. But Dmitri has use for a vampire known for torture. Their meeting reignites a decades-old grudge and brings them into the path of a ruthless network of vampire hunters determined to finish what history began.

Trapped between an enemy from the past, hunters fueled by vengeance, and the sins he can't outrun, Viktor must decide whether he'll remain the monster they fear...or become something even more dangerous.
