Blood/Lust - Part Three: The Daughters of Night by Nick Burgin - OCTOBER 14th
Alyssa was supposed to be saved. Instead, she became something far worse than death.
In a desperate act of love, Odessa transforms her dying lover into a vampire - hoping to preserve her life, their love, and everything they had yet to build. But the transformation goes horribly wrong, Odessa’s blood is unknowingly tainted with dark magic. The Alyssa she knew - gentle, grounded, and full of light - is gone. In her place is a feral, bloodthirsty creature consumed by rage. Driven by an insatiable hunger, she stalks the streets of Paris, sometimes alongside the unhinged Evie, Alyssa spirals deeper into darkness with every passing night.
Wracked with guilt and haunted by the ghost of the woman she loves, Odessa refuses to give up. With the help of Sakura and her coven of witches, she launches a desperate effort to save Alyssa’s soul before it’s lost forever.
But beneath the streets of Paris, a darker force is gathering.
In the twisting catacombs, the ancient and merciless Maelis, alongside his bride Evie, builds his army - the Crimson Scourge. Vampires, witches, monsters, and other fallen creatures rally to his cause, preparing for a war that could engulf the mortal and immortal worlds alike.
As this new threat rises, a quiet figure steps into the light. Trini, Alyssa’s younger sister, has long lived in the shadows - watching, grieving, waiting. Now, with her sister teetering on the edge of oblivion, Trini must embrace her own growing power and join forces with Sakura and Jarek, a centuries-old vampire with secrets of his own. Together, they journey into a forbidden realm to bargain with ancient, dangerous forces for the one thing that might restore Alyssa’s humanity.
But every choice has a price. As Trini grapples with powers she doesn't fully comprehend, and a bond neither she, Sakura or Jarek fully understand, time is slipping away. Alyssa’s descent is accelerating. Maelis’s forces are rising. And love alone may not be enough to save what’s been broken.
Book Three of Blood/Lust is a story of cursed bloodlines, burning devotion, and the unbearable cost of salvation. When love meets ruin, how far will you go to bring back the one you love?
