Meet Jade Mourning, a slightly neurotic but clever vampire whose line extends to Alexander the Great. Over the centuries, he’s survived vampire hunters, the bubonic plague, and the eccentricities of his friend Moreland (who may or may not be the mother of one of his children).
But can he survive an emerging hybrid vampiric species that threatens both humans and vampires? Even more importantly, can his emotions survive the human friendships he has to forge to win an apocalyptic battle of the ages? Jade is a gaming and streaming superstar who oversees a house full of male and female “influencers.” He has occasional flings with some of the influencers that live in his large Atlanta estate. He feeds off others when he needs some quick sustenance.
It’s all very convenient for him until his world is shattered by a series of murders. To complicate things, he has suddenly found himself emotionally attached to his human FWB Daphne.
He is less enamored with another human, Atlanta PD’s Detective Standmoore Owens, who has identified Jade as a suspect in the murders. When Jade learns that Owens is a vampire hunter in a world that forgot about vampires a long time ago, they find themselves in a tense alliance as they uncover a larger menace that threatens humans and the world’s few remaining vampires with extinction. As the world around him starts to cave in, Jade must also deal with emotions that are stirred up by his human love interest and the possibility that his wife may still be alive. It’s hard enough to prevent an extinction event. But when you live the wild lifestyle of a vampire influencer who has an almost fatal attraction to humans, it becomes a dark comedy of errors. In the end, it’s Jade’s own humanity that holds the key to the fate of the world.
