Paris in the nineteenth century is a dream of brass and velvet, but beneath its glittering surface, a terrifying melody is driving vampires to madness. Noé Archiviste has traveled to the heart of France with one singular obsession: to find the Book of Vanitas, a legendary clockwork grimoire whispered to be the doom of his race. Instead of finding a dusty relic in a forgotten shop, Noé is intercepted by a self-proclaimed human doctor who wields the very book he fears. This man, Vanitas, is arrogant, reckless, and possesses the power to rewrite a vampire’s true name—either to restore their sanity or erase them from existence forever. As the blue moon rises and shadows of a forgotten tragedy emerge, Noé must decide if he can trust a human who holds the leash to his people’s survival, or if the doctor’s cure is just another step toward a beautiful extinction.
