Forget everything you thought you knew about the children of the night. When Noe Archiviste steps off a luxury airship into the glittering, steampunk heart of 19th-century Paris, he has one goal: find the legendary Book of Vanitas and use its power to save a dear friend from a rotting curse. But the grimoire is not hidden in some dusty library; it is strapped to the hip of a manic, self-proclaimed human doctor who treats vampires like patients rather than predators. This man, Vanitas, wields the forbidden blue light of the Book to restore the true names of those consumed by madness, dragging a bewildered Noe into a whirlwind of ballrooms, bloodlust, and ancient conspiracies. As the line between savior and executioner blurs, Noe must decide if he can trust a man who hates his own kind as much as he claims to want to save them. In a city where shadows harbor teeth and secrets are deadlier than silver, the salvation of an entire race rests on the shoulders of a duo who can barely stand each other.
