   Summary

   'Remember me, love. When I'm reborn, as the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn'

   ~

   Barty’s heart is no longer beating, but somehow Evan has kept him from dying.
   He is something else now; something he knows isn’t human, and knows isn’t good. There are only three things Barty is certain of:
   1. He is not alive
   2. Evan Rosier is dead to him
   3. He has been hungry ever since he died.

   Or.

   In 1978 Evan finds himself in a small town in Texas with his sister and their vampire boss - Regulus. Whilst there he befriends a local boy named Barty and the pair begin a tumultuous and life-altering relationship that ends in tragedy and heartbreak for both of them.
   ///
   Regulus has been alone for hundreds of years after a traumatic conflict with his family in France. Suddenly, in the year 1972, he finds himself caring for a pair of witches (the Rosier twins) and being followed around by an irritating vampire hunter with wire glasses and a handsome face that Regulus can't seem to escape or defeat.
