  Immortality Has Met Its Match... 
  Ever since the Ring of Fire, the world's vampires have seen their mortality. They won’t live forever after all — not if the angels who created them decide to snuff them like candles. 
  What do the angels want? What did their command to “restore balance” truly mean? For most, the angels’ decrees mean mass murder and mass turnings … but the humans aren’t sheep, and won’t just lie down and take it forever. 
  As Deacon Maurice tries to maintain order with Reginald by his side, panic consumes the Vampire Nation. The center begins to fall apart and chaos grows like cancer. But as war between vampires and humans threatens, Reginald begins to discover strange new abilities within him: to navigate through blood history like no other vampire before him. To glamour those who can’t be glamoured. And seemingly, to stop time itself. 
  Fear has reached its tipping point. War is close. Reginald might hold the key to the angels’ mystery … but whatever could help him intervene just might be too late.

  As described by author Tim Dalgleish, Sergiusz Wasilewski is essentially "the Edward Lear of London Town." This audiobook brings his witty, surreal, and wistfully amusing limericks to life. Each verse "bites" with black humor, perfectly captured by Vance’s cinematic narration style that blends classic clarity with a modern, engaging pace. 
  Why listen?Masterful Limericks: Satirical, twisted, and unapologetically dark.Cinematic Experience: A vocal stroll through London's "Smoke," from hole-in-the-wall galleries to fog-drenched stairways.Perfect for fans of: Edward Lear, dark satire, and those who have ever accidentally chuckled at the wrong moment. 
  The images whisper, the limericks bite, and the narration grins at your discomfort. Buy it, gift it, or listen to it while wandering a stranger’s city. Just don’t listen with the lights off.
