Derek: Blood War

DEREK: BLOOD WAR Book Two of the Derek Series Some wars can’t stay in the shadows. For more than six centuries, Derek Smith has walked among humanity as a vampire, hiding his true nature from a world that would destroy him if it knew the truth. But the age of secrecy is coming to an end. The supernatural world is fracturing. Ancient loyalties are breaking, violence is spreading, and humanity is beginning to discover that the monsters of legend have been living among them all along. At the center of the coming storm stands Derek—a centuries-old blacksmith turned vampire who believes that humans and supernatural beings can coexist without fear or bloodshed. Not everyone shares his vision. Jonas Whitlock, a ruthless vampire created by the same ancient monster who made Derek, sees humanity not as equals but as prey. With a growing army of followers and the shadow of their powerful maker, Lucian, looming over the conflict, Jonas is determined to drag the supernatural world into open war. As cities descend into chaos, Derek must stand alongside Luther Hale, the formidable Alpha of the Bloody Dawgs Motorcycle Club, and an unlikely alliance of vampires, werewolves, hunters, and humans. But protecting humanity may demand more than defeating an enemy. Derek must challenge centuries of hatred, confront the blood-soaked legacy of his own creation, and decide how far he is willing to go to build a world where monsters no longer have to hide. The secrets are breaking. The armies are gathering. And the war between humanity and the supernatural has begun. From Gregory D. Tracy Jr. comes Derek: Blood War, the explosive second installment in a dark supernatural saga of ancient vampires, brutal werewolves, betrayal, brotherhood, and the fight for coexistence. The world is about to learn that monsters are real. The question is whether humanity can survive the truth.
