1863, Pennsylvania

War doesn't scare Jerusalem - she's a Saint. Thanks to powerful demigod-style reflexes, endurance, and strength, she's fearless. And ever since the Confederates declared civil war, partnering with the vampires who benefitted off slavery, she and her battalion of Saints are essential to the Union army.

Jerusalem herself had been enslaved by a vampire, escaping North only after her family was murdered. She knows the enemy better, hates the enemy more than anyone in her battalion, and has been using it to her advantage since she joined the war a year ago. More than anything she wants revenge, but if she can help Black people gain freedom and equality without having to steal it for themselves like she had to, then all the better.

But she never expects to have to team up with a vampire to do it.

Alexei is one of those handsome, arrogant Ancient Vampires. But he's on the Union's side and has never done anything but prove he's on hers.

Together, they set out to change the course of the war and take down the vampire who destroyed everyone Jerusalem loved. But for her, it's about more than justice.

It's about killing a god.
