The Thirst Within
Book One of the "It's In The Blood" Series
He has his mother's heart... and a predator's soul.
Corina Sanchez thought the nightmares of her childhood were over. She has a devoted husband, a quiet home, and a beautiful young son, Malachi. But as Malachi grows, Corina realizes he is carrying a genetic legacy she can no longer hide-one that makes him ice-cold to the touch and fundamentally different from every other child.
Malachi is a loving, gentle soul, but he is trapped inside a body with a biological "thirst" that cannot be denied. As he discovers the truth of what he is, he must battle the instinct to hunt while clinging to the humanity his mother taught him to cherish.
In a world that fears the "other," Corina and Malachi must navigate a dangerous path. When a tragic accident threatens to expose their secret, Corina is forced to protect her son from a society that would see him only as a monster-even as Malachi struggles to prove that love is stronger than blood.
The Thirst Within is a gripping Urban Fantasy that explores the thin line between the monsters we are born as and the people we choose to become.
Christopher Lee Roeters is a prolific full-time author whose extraordinary life journey shapes the vivid worlds, deep resilience, and profound empathy found across his 15 published books. From the rural towns of Michigan to the freezing, remote edge of Kotzebue, Alaska, Christopher has lived a life defined by survival, service, and an unwavering dedication to truth.As a former first responder and EMT in Northern Alaska, Christopher experienced the raw, life-or-death realities of the wilderness firsthand-experiences that ground his gripping medical memoirs and fuel the high-stakes action of his science fiction and urban fantasy series. His profound, twenty-year dedication to theological research and biblical studies further enriches his writing, allowing him to seamlessly bridge ancient history, global prophecy, and modern world affairs into definitive reference timelines.Writing full-time from his home in Michigan while navigating the personal challenges of cerebral palsy and a history of chronic illness, Christopher uses his craft to explore universal themes of found family, brotherhood, equality, and the triumphant power of the human spirit. Whether crafting high-octane cyborg thrillers, deep gothic vampire sagas, or raw autobiographical accounts, his stories serve as a powerful reminder that even in the deepest darkness, light can always be found.When he isn't expanding his multi-genre literary universe, Christopher composes original music and lyrics tied directly to his books, offering readers an interactive, multi-sensory backstage pass to his worlds.
