Until the age of seventeen, Daniel Dark had no idea of his true origins. Something was ulcerating deep inside him, waiting to claw its way free. Pastor Nathan Dark and his wife, Annie, had adopted him and brought him up as their own. But Daniel always felt that there was a secret they feared tell him…

Everything changes the day a mysterious package arrives at his home. It contains blood - human blood. Daniel's vampire half awakens and takes its first step out of the shadows. The once lazy, goalless youth transforms into sharp-sensed killer. Now, there is no turning back.

Armed with ever-evolving powers, Daniel sets off on a journey that takes him to Mexico and a Mayan shaman woman, Xochil - guardian of Vampire secrets. Many horrors await Daniel, for he not only can detect but also attract the living dead…

The trail leads to England, where he joins forces with Logan DuPris, a vampire hunter as attractive as she is deadly. Together they piece together the weird clues that lead to...

The Vampire Key

With this, Daniel Dark will unlock the sinister netherworld in which his Blood Family lives - where helpless humans are kept and bred for bloodletting, and where he will have to face the unutterable evil that is his Vampire father. A father that he must love…or destroy.
