Blood Brute is a heart-wrenching soulmate tale in the tradition of Song of Achilles, Call Me By Your Name, and The Persian Boy. If you like LGBT romance, dark themes, and complex characters, then you'll love this paranormal post-apocalyptic tale.
He always thought he was doing the right thing...
The Vampire Rise kept his coven hidden as they enjoyed idyllic 'cottagecore' lives in their smallholding. They hid... even when a zombie apocalypse broke across the world and humanity fell.
The guilt of this inaction gnaws at Rise, though. He sneaks out, leaving the coven's seclusion to see what's left beyond their walls. Then, he finds something shocking: A woman. Unbitten. Still human. Pulsing with life and fresh blood. He can't not save her - now everything's changed.
Soon, The Vampire Rise is deeply entangled in not only rescuing even more human survivors, but trying to integrate them with the rest of his coven. By leaving their smallholding in the first place, thinking he was doing the right thing, has Rise done more harm than good?
Has he attracted the attention of peoples far sinister than the zombie brutes wandering the countryside?
