In the neon-drenched, chaotic streets of modern-day Lagos, Nigeria, the divide between the powerless masses and the elite few with supernatural abilities is razor-thin. By day, Kojo is just another quiet street orphan navigating the sprawling slums, hiding his true nature behind a mask of cold indifference. But when the sun dips below the horizon, his blood-soaked lineage awakens. Kojo becomes an apex predator - a vampire of terrifying, unmatched power that reaches its god-like zenith at the stroke of midnight. When a ruthless syndicate of corrupt ability-users orchestrates the murder of the only street kid who ever showed him warmth, Kojo is thrust into a brutal, underground war. Armed with shadow-manipulation and blood-forging, he must tear through Lagos's elite. Yet, his growing bloodlust threatens to consume his humanity entirely. To survive, Kojo must master his monstrous hunger before the midnight hour destroys the very city he is secretly trying to avenge.
