By: Dixon Reuel

Narrated by: Ivar Scott

In a world devastated by a deadly zombie outbreak, Rise and his vampire coven hide within the eerie sanctuary of Owl Court, a crumbling refuge in a landscape haunted by both the undead and their own darker instincts. While the outside world drowns in chaos, the tension within their walls is just as dangerous. Rise’s intense, unbreakable bond with Cypriot, his human lover, stirs a love that defies life, death—and even the end of the world.

But this isn’t just survival. It’s a post-apocalyptic horrormance where the love between Rise and Cypriot fuels more than their desire—it keeps their coven alive. Their passion is tested when Rise ventures beyond the safety of Owl Court and encounters Elaine and her frail mother, sparking a deadly spiral of jealousy, secrets, and forbidden desires.

As the ancient order of Warwolves closes in and the undead amass outside their sanctuary, Rise must face the darker truths within his coven. Can their love survive the betrayals that haunt them? Or will the horrors lurking within the walls of Owl Court prove far deadlier than the monsters outside?

The Blood Brute Series combines a haunting love story with gothic intrigue, weaving together passion, betrayal, and the primal need for survival. Perfect for listeners who crave both romance and terror in a dark, atmospheric world where every shadow could spell danger, and love may be the only thing keeping them from falling into the abyss.
