Evil is coming for them all—and their savior may already be broken. In the remote reaches of Transylvania, a frightened community clings to survival under the brooding presence of the Carpathian Mountains. Lawman Anton Yoska, once a proud marshal, is now a man hollowed out by tragedy. His wife is dying. His authority is crumbling. And the deputy he trusts least is quietly undermining him at every turn. He believes life couldn't get any worse ... but then the wagon arrives. It carries a brutalized aristocrat in chains. Ruthless bounty hunters. And the seeds of ruin. For the prisoner and guards are not alone. A relentless vampire clan is hunting them, drawn by old debts and darker hungers. As night falls, the mountains will bleed. The undead will descend. And Anton Yoska will be forced to face not only the monsters at his gates, but the secrets buried in his own haunted past. No one is safe. And Yoska may be the last man left standing between the living and the abyss. Fans of grim, slow-burn gothic horror and desperate battles against impossible odds will be enthralled by Crimson Siege —the first book in the Blood Riders series.
