Nocturne: Lustbound

New York’s underworld has always been bloody. The five Mafia families keep their fragile peace with a mix of threats, bribes, and unspoken rules. Vittorio Falcone, the kind of man whose voice can make grown soldiers rethink their loyalty, sits at the head of one of the most feared families in the city. His daughter, Francesca, was never meant to be a player in this dangerous game—she was meant to be untouchable. But one reckless night on enemy turf changes everything. That’s when she meets Lucian. Not just a stranger with the kind of danger that pulls you in, but the son of Dracula—fresh out of a five-hundred-year prison, still trying to understand the world he’s been thrown into. The cars, the lights, the politics—none of it feels real to him. What is real is the hunger, the constant fight to keep his humanity from slipping away. Lucian is hunted—by his father’s shadow, and by an ancient order that knows what he’s capable of, maybe even before he does. He’s powerful, but that power comes with a price, one that’s already left scars deep in his history. Two worlds collide—the sharp, calculated violence of the Mafia, and the dark, seductive, ancient pull of the vampire underworld. And at the center of it all are two people who never should have met… but can’t seem to stay away from each other.
