Book description
Dorina Basarab is a dhampir - half-human, half-vampire - and the only
way she can stay sane is by unleashing her sometimes uncontrollable
rage on demons and vampires that deserve killing.
After the fortunate demise of her insane uncle Dracula, Dory is back
home in Brooklyn, hoping that life will calm down for a while. But
then two visitors arrive: her friend Claire, asking for Dory's help in
finding a magical Fey relic, and the gorgeous master vampire
Louis-Cesare, desperate to find his former mistress, a vampire named Christine.
Dory and Louis-Cesare soon discover their problems may be connected:
the same master vampire Christine is bound to is also rumored to be in
possession of the relic. But they soon realize there's more at stake
when Christine's master turns up dead. Someone is killing vampire
Senate members, and if Dory and Louis-Cesare can't stop the murderer,
they may be next . . .
