Bourban in York
A multi-perspective tale of vampires and werewolves at war.
Johnston constructs a narrative that starts small with one protagonist before widening its scope.

The plot moves through battles and intrigue rather than slow exposition. Readers interested in how individual choices impact a global supernatural struggle will find this structure engaging. The focus remains on the characters' interactions and their survival within a hostile environment.
