Blood and Darkness

Enemies by tradition. Allies out of necessity. Xi Lei gets the biggest opportunity in her hunting career: To search for the vampire responsible for the deaths of a whole village in the Himalayas. Her case leads her to New Orleans, where vampire king Damien Moreau is feverishly looking for a way to terminate a decades old deal with the local Hunter Coordinator. Conveniently, Lei wants information from him. They agree to a risky bargain, which will take them beyond the borders of New Orleans into a web of intrigues and corruption. But can they truly trust each other?



Born in 1996 in Vienna, Sophie Grossalber moved to Edinburgh after graduating high school where she studied literature and film. Now, she lives in the town of her childhood, south of Vienna. When she’s not travelling through world history, she writes fantastical stories in German and English, translates texts, or meets up with other story lovers for a round of Dungeons and Dragons. Sometimes she also streams on Twitch, where she either works on stories or stumbles through video games.
