Confessions at 8,000 Feet

An exhausted young intern, haunted by unsettling glimpses of their past as it infects the dreams of a dying kingdom’s courtiers, is conscripted into a reckless, mid-air heist that preys on the court’s nightly hunger for blood—and for narrative confession. Navigating grim, neon-lit sky duels against rival vampire syndicates and drone-patrolled airspace, our protagonist uncovers not only a government conspiracy to starve the city’s undead elite, but also a dangerous, slow-burning romance with a charismatic pilot whose own pain mirrors theirs. As their emotional connection deepens amid the cannibalistic glamour of the court, they must unmask which loyalty—their cause, their lover, or their own past—will survive betrayal at 8,000 feet.
