{"product_id":"2940032924302","title":"Blood Dawn","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a world where entire nations have been enslaved by vampires, sometimes the most effective weapon is a newer, better vampire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd twenty-four years ago, after the event humans came to call Blood Dawn, a research institute called Genesis Industries came to just that conclusion. A wave of meticulously planned attacks had left the leaders of every country with access to advanced weapons either dead or converted, and when it was over humanity was left reeling with the knowledge that not only were vampires real, but now entire continents were under their control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLilith was the firstborn of Genesis' secret creations-the Bruxsa Stregoni- A hybrid of vampire and flying lycanthrope that feed only on vampires. Once the proud leader of her brood, the company became leery of their close bond and used a youthful indiscretion on Lilith's part as an excuse to separate them; a travesty that ended in the death of her youngest sister. But reared to be unquestioningly loyal to the corporation that gave them life, the young flight leader put all the blame on herself and dedicated herself even more fiercely to their purpose- the eradication of all vampires. Only her gentle brother Lucifiel was allowed to remain at her side, but the two siblings have vastly different opinions on the ethics of their racial mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetective William Buchanan has problems of his own. Long suspicious of the secrets Genesis Industries is hiding, he's been forced to shelve his investigation of the secretive company by his own chief of police. He sees Lilith in his favorite restaurant one night and is struck by the sense that he's seen her before. His leisure is interrupted however, by news that his night squad- a secret team of police officers that kill vampires- has been loaned to another city by the chief, and that he's been given the responsibility of training a new group of recruits. Although dubious at first, he is quick to seize upon the opportunity presented by one of them- a skilled hacker he enlists to resume his personal investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut things become more complicated when he is called into the morgue one night to examine the corpse of one of Lilith's victims; a vampire that has been drained of blood and marked by what look like the talons of a great bird. He begins worrying that a previously unknown breed of monster exists and could soon attack humans as well as vampires, and so he and his hacker squad mate decide to investigate this new mystery as well; not realizing the two are one and the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEventually recognizing Lilith from a photo he'd taken at Genesis, he applies for a job in security there in order to get closer to the company. Suspicious when she learns what he does for a living, she attempts to read his mind to discover his true motives, only to discover that the detective is a nuller- a human naturally immune to psychic tampering. Unable to read his thoughts, but under orders from her superior to keep a close watch on him, Lilith befriends Buchanan against her better judgment. It's ultimately because of this friendship that not only will her life be put in danger, but the entire foundation of her beliefs will be shaken to their core.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Margaret Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154478317808,"sku":"2940032924302","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940032924302_p0.jpg?v=1763952773","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940032924302","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
