After helping end the Dracule War, slayer Caleb Helsing didn't ask for a reward. He took one: the CEO seat at a supernatural corporate empire and a penthouse with a skyline view. A few years of freedom and luxury seemed fair.
But as his exasperated human secretary often reminds him, the Board of Directors isn't interested in post-war burnout. They want results. And if Caleb doesn't start acting like a real leader, he'll lose everything-his title, his home, and maybe a few pints of blood.
The problem? Slaying evil vamps doesn't teach you how to run a company full of... potentially friendly ones? He needs guidance. Or better yet, someone with gravitas to swoop in and do all the hard work for him.
Luckily, Massimo Bruneli, the vampiric Doge of Venice, owes Caleb a favor. But Massimo's in trouble too. Bloodless bodies are turning up in the canals-and they're not vampire kills. If Caleb wants Massimo's help, he'll have to earn it. Now he's juggling a supernatural mystery, a team of skeptical young slayers, and a secretary who might just be scarier than the monsters.
The war is over. But leadership? That's a whole new battlefield.

Kendrai Meeks was exiled from the American Midwest after college and spent two decades imprisoned in California’s sunshine before engineering her escape. Since her first publication in 2011, she’s gravitated toward stories where heroines sling crossbows, reality gets hacked, and the monsters are usually the ones bleeding. Her heart belongs to urban fantasy and science fiction—especially when wrapped in myth, history, and just enough snark to sting.
As a featured speaker on fanfiction, audiobooks, and serialized storytelling, Kendrai brings her obsessions with sound and lore to readers and writers alike. She’s a world music addict, a reluctant traveler (flying is a necessary evil), and an unapologetic believer that the supernatural is just history with better lighting.
