An orphan raised to hunt monsters discovers the law that could end the war between day and night.

Riven Duskbane carries Ashfang, a blade forged to cut hunger from intent—not lives from bodies. When a raid reveals ancient pact stones—crescent within circle—he glimpses the Night-Law once sworn by humans and vampires alike. The Bloodhound Order calls it superstition. Selene, a vampire who still keeps that oath, calls it the only rule that ever worked.
Pressed by his mentor, Captain Orin, and pursued by High Marshal Hale—who would rouse the Crimson Sovereign, Varcan Nocturne, through fear—Riven must choose: obey the Order’s purge or stand on forbidden ground and speak the law out loud. Ferals prowl the roads, lies harden into policy, and the Obsidian Basilica waits beneath the Shrouded Lands, where an oath can bind a king…or break the world.

Part gothic hunt, part oathbound epic, Crimson Eclipse is a fast, character-driven fantasy about judgment before blood, the weight of names, and the courage it takes to turn a weapon into a promise.
