Bound by Fate and Blood

Scottish merchant-for-hire Christian Sinclair longs for solid ground after traveling the Atlantic in the late 1660s under King Charles II's banner. When he returns to London six months late, his homecoming plans did not include being captured, finding his family dead, or hearing their estate burned to the ground. Nephtyri, the last of two full-blooded vampires, dreams of Christian's plight and offers to avenge his murdered family. In exchange, she reveals his parents' hidden ties to the secretive Hunters' Guild--slayers and slavers intent on destroying her people. If the Guild seizes Christian, they will either enslave him against England or enthrone him as their Imperial Lord Hunter. His choices will either save or shatter Nephtyri and the Arsinoëphorus Alliance in the process.
