Hunting Shadows — Melissa J. Vivigatz

A vampire tale unlike all the rest. An esoteric, fantasy saga, enter a green, tropical jungle world that iss not as primitive as it seems. Meet Drexus Tavosn: scarred hunter, rueful philosopher, outcast. To him the vine jungle was sanctuary, the land beautiful, its savagery simple and direct. Then a mysterious poison came, spreading madness and death. To find the cure and protect those he loved, Drex had to leave the jungle for a place far deadlier. And through the journey s harsh struggle, the hunter's dreams are haunted by a fire-eyed demon of long fangs and talons: a nightwalker on a planet in which the nights last for three days--Or is it the psychic manifestation of the mysterious plague, one that drives it s victims murderously insane before it kills them? Through prophesy, bigotry, politics and betrayal, Drex struggles to purge the world of the descending madness--if he can escape the grasp of the demon in his own soul first...
