From publisher blurb: I was powerless, though you wouldn’t think it at the time. I was strong then, and beautiful. I was the envy of my peers, but I had lost myself. My choices were taken from me and replaced with a need I couldn’t fight. It wasn’t until I found friends who were stronger than me, kinder than me, that I came back to myself. I still haven’t found a way to properly thank them for that. — Bran Silver, once-loyal servant to the Countess of Bathory Castle Dhampirs are the attractive and conflicted offspring of a mortal humanoid and a vampire.
