A Sanguinary Rose - Hardcover

by E. L. Luengo (Author)

On the night the moon bled over Farpoint, Scarlett Rosenbaum's life ended-and began anew.

After a humiliating high school party and a stranger's bite, Scarlett awakens to a world of monsters hiding in plain sight. As a newly turned vampire, every sunrise brings agony, and every heartbeat reminds her of what she has lost-and what she is becoming. Struggling to adapt to her new reality, Scarlett must learn the rules of a supernatural society that exists just beneath the surface of her small Pacific Northwest town.

In the shadows, she finds unlikely allies: a devil with dangerous secrets, a fierce werecat, a witch whose spells rarely go as planned, and an angel who prefers to work alone. Together, they navigate a tangled web of supernatural politics, government conspiracies, and ancient vendettas, all while staying one step ahead of forces determined to control or destroy them.

Haunted by guilt, stalked by the vampire who sired her, and restrained by ORPHEUS-a government agency tasked with containing supernatural threats-Scarlett faces impossible choices. As her hunger grows and the danger escalates, she must decide whether to cling to her fading humanity or embrace the darkness within.

A Sanguinary Rose is a fast-paced young adult urban fantasy about identity, power, and the cost of survival, set against a moody Pacific Northwest backdrop. Perfect for readers who enjoy supernatural ensembles, morally complex heroes, and contemporary fantasy with a sharp emotional edge.
