Christopher Pike

After five thousand years of solitary existence as a vampire, Alisa breaks her isolation by drawing Teri—a descendant of her human bloodline—into her world, only to realize that her very presence endangers everyone she cares about. When a shadowy, top-secret organization discovers her supernatural identity and begins hunting her to exploit her powers, Alisa finds herself caught between protecting those she loves and surviving an enemy more formidable than anything she has encountered in her long, dark existence. As conspiracies deepen and trust becomes impossible, Alisa must confront not only external threats but also the fundamental question of who she truly is and who she is willing to become. Pike masterfully weaves themes of isolation, redemption, and the burden of immortality into a high-stakes supernatural thriller that challenges the boundaries between humanity and monstrosity.
