Sixteen-year-old Susan kneels before the Temple steps whispering the sacred prayer…
We are the Herd, human servants to the immortal Akharu, Lords of the Night. The Akharu are our Kings. The Akharu are our Gods. We honor them with our hands. We worship them with our hearts. We nourish them with our blood.
She is preparing for the Branding, the sacred ceremony where the Akharu choose which humans will be allowed to stay in the Closure, and which will be taken away, never to return. As she stands and enters the Temple, Susan is confident that she’ll receive her brand. She’s devoted her life to the Akharu. They have to let her stay.
They have to…
Ryan, Susan’s fifteen-year-old brother, kneels behind her. He only mouths the prayers. The Akharu have already taken his older brother Trevor and now they may take his sister as well. He knows he shouldn't even think it, but he doesn’t care.
I want revenge…
This is the Kingdom of Larkspur, where the blood-thirsty Akharu rule from their marble palace high on the hill. Below them are the Blessed, the humans favored by the Akharu. They can be found in their huge mansions, living life as they please. The rest of the humans are confined to the Closure, where they exist only to serve the Blessed and feed the Akharu.
They are the Herd...
The Herd, is an exciting new turn in the vampire genre. It is an action-packed adventure that takes place in the feudal Kingdom of Larkspur, where horses and swords rule the day and the bloodthirsty Akharu reign at night.
