[The Legacy Series 01] • Sanguis Legacy

Derek Crawford, an orphan who has lost everyone around him, finally found the love of his life, his soul mate, and for the first time ever he was happy. They had twelve wonderful years together. Then her body is found in a mall parking garage, having died from an apparent heart attack. Grief-striken, Derek is bed-ridden after the funeral, and snaps awake when he hears the sound of someone else in the room with him. Surprised beyond words to see his wife standing in the doorway to their bedroom, he jerks himself upright and utters a cry of relief; then she attacks him, overpowering his mind and body in an instant, her elongated canines brushing his neck, her hot breath becoming rapid as she prepares to feed.

A team of vampire hunters show up and save his life, his mind reeling about what just happened, unable to convince himself that his wife was anything but a failed science experiment, his soul crying out for retribution.

After all, vampires don't exist, right?
