A Subtle Agency : The Metaframe War

Witness to a brutal murder, eighteen-year-old Anton Slayne is inducted by the mysterious Mr Wu into the Order of Thoth, a secret society of vampire hunters, and learns his family name marks him as a target.

As Anton is drawn into the machinations of the vampire general Chloe Armitage, he finds himself caught between local gangsters, Boston police, and the covert operatives of Shadowstone — the human front for a hidden vampire nation ruled by Cornelius Crane.

The novel opens on the ancient origin of the first vampire before following Anton's initiation into a hidden war between the Order of Thoth, the Red Empire, and the Vampire Dominion over mastery of the reality-shaping Metaframe.
