Desolation (Dominion of the Damned Book 1)

Description

Nursing student Hannah Jordan expected to spend spring break welcoming her new brother into the world. She didn’t expect to deliver him herself in her family’s backyard bunker as her mother lay dying from a bite wound. Newly orphaned with a baby to raise while the her neighbors tear each other apart outside, Hannah only knows one thing for certain: all the survival training her daddy put her through didn’t prepare her for this.

Months later, Hannah emerges from the safety of her shelter to find that zombies are the least of her problems. Hunted, abducted, and separated from her brother, Hannah is thrown into a prison camp along with the last surviving remnants of humanity, lorded over by a race of power-hungry vampires hell-bent on preserving their only food supply. Proclaiming themselves the saviors of humanity, the vampires demand payment in labor and blood. For all their pretenses of being benevolent dictators, Hannah quickly learns the monsters inside the prison walls are far worse than the zombies roaming outside.

Desperate to find her brother and escape, Hannah’s only hope is Alek Konstantin—Dr. Creepy to her fellow inmates—who is rumored to conduct experiments on children. When he arranges to have Hannah and her brother transferred to his own camp, she has no choice but to go along.

She soon discovers the doctor’s agenda is drastically different from the rumors—or so he claims. If he’s telling the truth, his research could hold the key to saving the human race and restoring balance to the power struggle between humans and vampires. But everything Hannah knows about vampires wars against everything Hannah’s heart tells her about this brooding vampire doctor with the kind eyes and gentle demeanor. Can she truly trust him, or is it all an act? If she makes the wrong choice, the future of humanity could be at stake.

What readers are saying:

“Bauhaus spins an incredible, ‘on the edge of your seat’ story. The characters are believable and well developed, the villains are ones you love to hate, and there are genuinely terrifying scenes. I can not wait until the sequel comes out. If you like dystopic tales, you won’t want to miss this.”

“Rarely do I give five stars, but when an author truly makes it impossible for me to stop read even a 1:30 am, and makes me mad the next book isn’t out to keep me up til dawn’s early light, it gets a five star. Great story. Highly recommended.”

“Finally, a new and original zombie story and vampire story. Well written and fun to read. Can’t wait for another book by this author!”
