A Series by E.W. Roberts
Where vampires walk the streets, humans lock their doors, and a hard-drinking detective is dragged into a war she never wanted.
The Story So Far
Vampires used to be legend. Then came the Great Revelation — the day the world learned they were real. The United States outlawed them; Georgia refused. Now most of the country’s undead have gathered in the city of Acheron, “dubbed the City of the Dead.” When a human is found staked to a wall alongside two dead bodies and a teenage vampire, homicide detective Iliana Dawn is forced into an unwilling partnership with the very creatures she hates. What starts as a murder investigation becomes a descent into vampire politics, ancient lore, and a mysterious substance the undead crave — one that could rewrite the rules of what a vampire even is.
Reading Order
Book One
Descending Dawn
“An engrossing vampire tale with a richly detailed plot and backstory.” — Kirkus Reviews
Detective Iliana Dawn hates vampires. So of course the department pairs her with one. Her first case in the newly-formed vampire-crimes unit puts her deep inside the world she despises — and closer than she’d like to a man named Marcus Knight.
Book Two
Fallen Dawn
The war Iliana Dawn hoped was over is just beginning. As factions of vampires split and hunt one another across Acheron, Dawn and Knight find themselves at the center of a conspiracy that reaches into the human government — and back into her own past.
Book Three — Coming Soon
“Dawn Book 3” is currently in development. Follow along on the homepage for progress updates.
