DEREK
Derek Smith was never meant to become a monster.
In 1384, he was a blacksmith, a husband, and a father living an ordinary life in England. Then, one night, a yellow-eyed stranger attacked him, forced blood down his throat, and left him for dead.
Two days later, Derek woke changed.
His first hunger cost him everything.
More than six centuries later, Derek is still alive. He has watched kingdoms rise and collapse, survived wars, hunted monsters and men alike, and built a reputation feared throughout the supernatural world. Some know him as Smitty. Others call him the Blacksmith of London or the Butcher of Berlin.
Most simply know better than to cross him.
Derek has spent centuries refusing to love again, keeping everyone at arm’s length and living by his own brutal code. But the world around him is changing. Ancient enemies are moving. Hunters are watching. The vampire Council has marked him as a threat, and the man responsible for Derek’s existence still holds more power than anyone realizes.
At Derek’s side is Luther Hale, a scarred werewolf biker and one of the few beings Derek truly trusts. Together, they are pulled deeper into a conflict involving vampires, werewolves, hunters, old grudges, and secrets buried for centuries.
And Derek is no longer interested in running from any of it.
He does not want a throne.
He does not want to rule humanity.
He wants something far more dangerous:
The freedom to exist on his own terms.
But after more than six hundred years of blood, violence, revenge, and survival, Derek is about to discover that the past never stays buried—and some monsters have been waiting centuries for him to finally turn around and face them.
DEREK is a dark supernatural thriller filled with vampires, werewolves, motorcycle clubs, ancient rivalries, brutal history, and a protagonist who has spent centuries becoming the thing everyone else is afraid of.
He was a blacksmith once. Now he is the hammer.
