On the night the moon bled over Farpoint, Scarlett Rosenbaum’s life ended—and began anew.
One humiliating high school party and a stranger’s bite thrust her into a world of monsters hiding in plain sight. Now, every sunrise is agony, every heartbeat a reminder of what she’s lost—and what she’s become.
But Scarlett isn’t alone. In the shadows of her small Pacific Northwest town, she finds unlikely allies: a devil with secrets, a werecat with a fierce heart, a witch whose spells rarely go as planned, and an angel who’d rather work alone. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of supernatural politics, government conspiracies, and ancient vendettas. As Scarlett’s hunger grows, so does the danger—both to herself and those she loves.
Haunted by guilt, stalked by the vampire who sired her, and restrained by ORPHEUS, a government agency that would see her destroyed, Scarlett must decide: will she cling to her fading humanity, or embrace the darkness within? When the line between monster and hero blurs, survival means more than just staying alive—it means choosing who you are, no matter the cost.
A Sanguinary Rose is a pulse-pounding urban fantasy about power, self-discovery, and the price of becoming something more than human. Dare to step into the shadows—Scarlett’s story is just beginning.
