About this listen

When investigative journalist Eliza Warren begins digging into Senator Richard Townsend's suspicious suicide, she uncovers more than political corruption—she stumbles into a shadow war that has been raging since 1692. Armed with her great-great-great-grandmother's silver dagger and an ancient pendant that burns with supernatural fire, Eliza discovers that vampires haven't just infiltrated the highest levels of American government—they've been controlling it for centuries.

But this isn't your grandmother's vampire story.

In the digital age, immortal predators don't lurk in gothic castles—they architect surveillance networks, manipulate financial markets, and turn social media into weapons of mass influence. When tech prodigy Riley Zhang partners her vampire enhancement with cutting-edge AI, traditional resistance becomes obsolete overnight. Democracy itself is on life support, kept barely alive by ancient creatures who view human civilization as their personal feeding ground.

As Eliza races against time to expose the truth, she must navigate a deadly romance with research partner Marcus Chen, whose own enhancement by vampire blood makes him both ally and potential threat. Together, they uncover a conspiracy that reaches from Salem's witch trials to the Pentagon's deepest vaults, where cosmic authorities older than human civilization prepare for a reckoning five centuries in the making.

When the vampires abandon subtlety for open warfare, when every screen becomes a weapon and every network a trap, Eliza faces an impossible choice: remain human and watch democracy burn, or become something more than mortal and pay prices that love makes bearable but survival makes terrible.

Blood Debts fuses political thriller with supernatural horror, asking what happens when democracy must be saved by those who are no longer bound by its limitations. In a world where immortal predators wield fiber optic fangs and digital claws, the price of justice may be humanity itself.
