Svitupád (2026)

For centuries, vampires have roamed the world freely, until the Greys suddenly appeared and wiped out half their population in a single night. The survivors found refuge in Svitupád, the last vampire city, where clear rules apply: the poor receive weak blood, the nobility the finest, and none of them may ever leave. Servant Sam has had enough of these rules, of emptying the chamber pots of aristocratic tyrants, and of their sense of superiority. When the First Lord’s son is murdered and Sam comes across the only clue to the truth about his death, she seizes the opportunity to blackmail her way into a higher class and access to better blood. She soon joins the Leeches, a group of rebellious servants who make life twice as difficult for the worst of the worst. Before long, she finds herself alongside a wizard who can do without magic thanks to his gift for deduction, a deadly werewolf assassin, and a countess who knows everyone’s secrets in the city. There is only one problem: what began as a murder investigation has uncovered a vast conspiracy among the ruling elite. Sam must expose the truth before Svitupád becomes its next victim. If she is not killed first, she may even achieve eternal life.
