Strain of Four - A Dark Fantasy Chronicle #714522

Vampire angst in a zombie apocalypse! The Blood Brute Series grapples with grief, survival, and the painful journey towards a found family.
After the disastrous events at Port, Rise is trapped on a ship run by his worst enemy: the Warwolves. With Iskar, his blood match, and Ranger Hudd trapped with him, they must wait below decks as they sail to unknown lands.

His life irreversibly gutted, Rise must still drink human blood, even though he has become a blood brute, a zombie-bitten vampire. If Iskar and Hudd are feasted upon by the Warwolf sailors, they’ll be savaged apart. They have to play nice with the crew, even the ones who take an interest in Rise. Rise finds himself caught between a future where humanity regains control, or loses to the Warwolves’ crusade.
When they eventually make landfall, who knows what the Warwolves will do? Rise must decide who to keep close to his heart, and who to destroy.

Author’s Note: Be prepared! These supernatural dark fantasies for adults might begin with a slow-burn gay romance, but the series has a soul-crushing love triangle among fated mates! It has morally gray characters, post-apocalyptic and ominous vibes. If you like brooding Dark Fantasy Horror with gay MM romance and occult elements, you can expect that, and a lot more, during this eerie zombie apocalypse adventure!
This is Book 4 in a 6-book series and ends in a cliffhanger.
