Iris awakens sealed inside a marble coffin, her body shattered and slow to heal from her master’s brutal assault. Bone grinds against bone in the darkness. Her face still bears the scars of their savage confrontation, and as consciousness returns, so does a single, paralyzing thought—Bakis is not finished with her.

Beyond the crypt, the witches are gathering power. They have created a forbidden spell book—one capable of destroying vampires—and Bakis intends to possess it at any cost. Iris is sent to steal what she does not understand, cast into a world of sorcery she has never faced. Ignorant of witchcraft and its traps, she moves too fast, too boldly… and steps straight into a ritual designed to erase her from existence.

Hunted through a twisted landscape of magical assassins and blood-bound enforcers, Iris is drawn into the web of Shazelle, a witch of terrifying power whose reach extends far beyond the physical world. Every spell tightens the snare. Every choice brings Iris closer to annihilation.

To survive, Iris must unravel forces older than her own dark rebirth—or be unmade by them.

This haunting dark fantasy novella plunges readers into a realm where shadows whisper, magic kills without mercy, and ancient vampires rule the night. Death Trap continues the Vampire Iris series in this 41,000-word third installment, blending horror, fantasy, and science fiction into a relentless descent where escape may be more dangerous than surrender.
