Vesper Series by Magdalena Kozak

Life in the Special Forces can be too much for some people to bear. Yes, it is a life of action and adventure, but it’s also a life of constant fear and secrecy, where the risk of death waits around every corner. For other people, that life is their calling, and the surge of adrenaline is as addictive as any drug. Vesper is one such addict, a young man ready to sacrifice everything to serve his country... moreLife in the Special Forces can be too much for some people to bear. Yes, it is a life of action and adventure, but it’s also a life of constant fear and secrecy, where the risk of death waits around every corner. For other people, that life is their calling, and the surge of adrenaline is as addictive as any drug. Vesper is one such addict, a young man ready to sacrifice everything to serve his country. He joins a secret unit of the International Security Agency, where he is given a new life, a new identity, and a new mission: control the renegade threat without letting the general public discover that it exists. ​ The renegades are not merely men fighting for a cause, though. They are vampires, vicious blood-drinkers who choose to live by their own violent code rather than following the rules of their more civilized brethren, the Nighters. ​ The renegades are growing at a dangerous rate, and developing ever more brutal methods to harvest the fresh human blood they crave. Vesper is faced with a difficult choice: as a human, he is not strong enough to stand against the renegades. Should he sacrifice everything and become a Nighter, in the name of the greater good? less

The Internal Security Agency's latest recruit, Jerzy Arlecki, once refused to believe in vampires, let alone a special crack unit that protects the human race against the blood thirsty renegades. But when he wakes up to the Night he vows to himself and to others that he will always be on the side of the good and righteous. But can he keep his promise? A wounded Vesper passes into the hands of the renegades and they try to keep him alive... moreThe Internal Security Agency's latest recruit, Jerzy Arlecki, once refused to believe in vampires, let alone a special crack unit that protects the human race against the blood thirsty renegades. But when he wakes up to the Night he vows to himself and to others that he will always be on the side of the good and righteous. But can he keep his promise? A wounded Vesper passes into the hands of the renegades and they try to keep him alive. This young Nighter is now a legend as he is the only one who dared to assassinate Lord Ultor. The renegades cannot allow him to die from his wounds. Vesper becomes a full-vampire, who is now dependent on the blood of humans. Life in the ranks of his former enemy is a challenge. For some, he is a traitor and a murderer, to others he is the enemy, yet some still consider him the unbeaten desperado. How will Vesper find himself in his new role? Who is lying and who can he trust? Where does righteousness end and evil begin? The situation seems hopeless. Old friends now plan their revenge, new friends were actually once old enemies and above all stands a beautiful woman and a great politician. less

There is now no position for Vesper amongst the nighters or the renegades. The rules that once governed the vampire world have now collapsed in the face of a new threat. Humanity has seen the truth... The Vatican's embrace of a religious frenzy proves to be a challenge and the nighters are helpless. They cannot kill people. They can instead only rescue the renegades and guard their fearsome predatory instincts... moreThere is now no position for Vesper amongst the nighters or the renegades. The rules that once governed the vampire world have now collapsed in the face of a new threat. Humanity has seen the truth... The Vatican's embrace of a religious frenzy proves to be a challenge and the nighters are helpless. They cannot kill people. They can instead only rescue the renegades and guard their fearsome predatory instincts. However, those on the dark side of the Night will not talk to the nighters, and they both begin a desperate struggle to survive. Even if the pits of despair, even in a sea of hatred, seeds of hope sprout from the former friends of the cursed Vesper. The end is only the beginning... Is there is something more than Destiny? less

Sometimes, it’s the moment that you achieve your dream when the real trouble starts. Ever since the day Vesper became a Lord, he’s been forced to dodge an endless rain of troubles.
