Through the darkness of the thousand-year eclipse they sail, seeking adventure, treasure—and blood!
In a world ruled by vampires, Empress Nira of the Night Isles has always cared more for sword-fighting and carousing than ruling. But when she escapes a vicious coup by stowing aboard VMS Abyss, a pirate ship run by the mysterious Captain Akeyo, she gets more than she can handle of both.
She must rise through the ranks of the Vampyrates from lowly swab to queen of the Sea of Night—so the oceans will run red with her vengeance!

The writing speeds up the pace to deliver on action but takes a bit to connect the lead to the audience. The art dabbles with classic imagery while forging in a new, volatile look. A steady read that has many miles to still trek. Read Full Review
