'1917, Australia.
'In the aftermath of an alternate ending to the First World War, mass frontline casualties and a mysterious pandemic have decimated governments and the environment across much of Europe and the world, Australia included.
'Anna Baylon lives with her parents, scraping a meagre living in the drought-ridden, abandoned, and mostly isolated town of Berrima near Sydney, waiting for news of her older brother, Peter, who enlisted years before.
'The arrival of a handsome, mysterious stranger, Nicolas de Laon, her brother's lover, turns her world upside down.
'Anna's strength is tested when she follows Nicolas-a vampire-from the safety of her home, determined to learn Peter's fate.
'But Nicolas's darkness isn't confined to his vampiric hereditary. And when Anna learns the darker truth, can she forgive him?'
