These aren't the vampires you know.

When the Nash'terel were hunted nearly to extinction, they fled to a distant world: Earth. Using their powers of shapeshifting, they blended in with the human population, and with their thirst for life essence, the hunted became the hunters. While the older generation remain in the shadows, associating only with other Nash'terel, their Earthborn offspring are more adventurous.

Young Bilyash is tired of hiding and ready to follow his dream into the film industry. He's abandoned the traditional ways of his people and trained as a makeup artist, but two things stand in his way: assassins from the former home world, and Angie Fiore. Angie is unlike any human Bilyash has met, overflowing with the purest life essence he's ever encountered. When assassins on the hunt for Nash'terel catch up with him, both their lives are put in danger, and Bilyash and Angie are forced to run.

Bilyash's uncle and his contacts can help them go underground, but it won't stop these killers from tracking them. The only chance Bilyash has to keep himself and Angie safe is to turn the tables. Yet what chance does an inexperienced Earthborn have against centuries-old assassins with nothing to lose?
