Beneath the Skin of Night

Synopsis

When Dr. Zuleika Daubeny receives a critically burned patient at Belvane General Hospital, she expects another desperate fight against death. But the mysterious stranger on her operating table defies everything she knows about medicine. His heart does not beat, his blood is unnaturally cold, and despite suffering catastrophic burns, he remains conscious. Even more disturbing, his wounds begin healing at an impossible speed.

The stranger is Lazare Strelitz, a centuries-old vampire and former battlefield surgeon who has spent generations secretly caring for a hidden community of supernatural beings known as the Pale.

After surviving a deliberately orchestrated fire that claimed two lives, Lazare discovers that someone is systematically hunting his kind. When his abnormal blood samples disappear into a private laboratory connected to the powerful Wolstenholme Foundation, Zuleika realizes that the conspiracy may reach into the highest levels of her own hospital.

As their investigation deepens, Zuleika and Lazare uncover disturbing connections between medical research, unexplained disappearances, and a wealthy benefactor whose seemingly flawless appearance conceals something profoundly unnatural.

Drawn together by danger, curiosity, and a growing emotional connection, a mortal surgeon and an immortal physician must confront an enemy who may have discovered how to exploit the very secret of supernatural existence.

In a world where medicine meets the impossible, the greatest threat may not be death itself, but what humanity is willing to do to overcome it.
