Star Blood (The Life and Undeath of Mortimer Drake)

THE COLLAPSE of the HOPE movement brought a renewed sense of unity to the world. For the first time in recorded history, humans live side by side with the creatures of myths and legends to build a new life fueled by optimism. Vampires are joined by their preternatural kin – merfolk, fairies, and werewolves – to pave a new path for life on Earth. But this feeling of faith and hope is short-lived. Mortimer and his friends must now face a new enemy from somewhere beyond the stars that threatens to end all life on the planet.
