Damien Cross has spent his entire life wondering who he really is.
Abandoned as a child with no memory of his parents and nothing but a mysterious silver pendant to identify him, Damien grows up believing he's an ordinary orphan. Years later, his search for answers leads him to S.E.R.A. — the Supernatural Entity Research Agency, a secret organization investigating the creatures hiding within the human world.
Damien becomes one of S.E.R.A.'s most capable field agents, investigating vampires, demons, and other supernatural threats.
Then one mission changes everything.
While investigating a series of brutal murders, Damien encounters Silas Vane, an ancient and terrifying vampire. They've never met before. Neither knows who the other is.
Silas bites Damien.
Damien should die.
Instead, he wakes up stronger, faster, and hungry for blood.
But there's something wrong with his transformation.
He can walk in sunlight.
His wounds heal unnaturally fast.
And beneath his newly awakened vampiric instincts lies something far more powerful—something even Damien doesn't know exists.
Because Damien wasn't born completely human.
Hidden within his blood is an ancient inheritance connected to Lucifer himself.
Damien is unknowingly the heir to Hell's throne.
And there are only a handful of beings who know the truth.
One of them is Lucian Vale, the enigmatic director of S.E.R.A. and a powerful Nephilim who understands the secrets of Heaven, Hell, and everything between them.
Lucian has been watching Damien for years.
Lucifer has been watching him even longer.
But neither will tell Damien who he really is.
As Damien struggles to control the vampire growing inside him, he creates an alter ego: Nocturne, a brutal supernatural anti-hero who hunts the monsters hiding in the darkness.
But every time Damien uses his newfound power, something else awakens.
Something ancient.
Something infernal.
Something that may eventually force Damien to choose between the man he wants to be and the throne he was born to inherit.
And when Lucian finally turns against S.E.R.A., Damien discovers that his transformation was never an accident.
The people he trusted have been hiding the truth.
The vampire who bit him never knew what he had awakened.
And somewhere beyond the mortal world, the Devil is waiting to see whether his heir is worthy of the crown.
NOCTURNE
He was born human.
He became a vampire.
But Hell has been waiting for him all along.
