A Dozen Black Roses

In Deadtown, a city hidden inside the city, the undead move about freely and the living are never truly safe. One night a young man named DeShawn grabs a few stolen goods from a convenience store and runs, only to be seized in a dark alley by a creature that drinks his blood. The attack is a grim introduction to a place where humans and vampires alike face danger. Fighting between the old vampire order and a rising new faction has spilled into the streets, and ordinary people are getting caught in the middle. Sonja Blue, a vampire with her own strict sense of right and wrong, may be the only one able to stand between the district and disaster. She is willing to set both sides against each other, and if that fails, she may decide the whole place deserves to burn.
