Beatific (A Blood Kin Vampires Novel Book 1)
Description
I, Constance Ferrer, ached to be more than just a novice vampire—a mere underling and fodder to the elite of the Blood Kin, an ancient, powerful, and cunning horde. I thrilled when Psylas, my maker, appointed me to a simple, routine assignment that yanked me well beyond my ordinary reach, finally granting me a chance to elevate in the ranks. But when that feat thrust me to the forefront of an unravelling prophecy, I found myself pitted between vicious factions vying for the possession of the cherished Truth and Peace. Suspicious of the prophecy itself, yet trapped within the sanctuary of its protectors, my previously bleak and mundane existence blooms into a frightening adventure.
How does a weak and inexperienced vampire such as myself successfully sift through increasingly elusive schemes? How does she sort out a sudden influx of supposed allies and enemies? How does she determine who or what to fight or trust? And when presented with convenient comforts—Cyriel, an epicurean, share-the-fun vampire; his lavish and libertine accommodations; and Huijghe, his strangely enamored and seriously decadent human—should she dare indulge, if even just for a brief reprieve?
I was about to find out.
Amidst a miasma of confusion, fear, and exhilaration, of betrayers and opportunists, of gleaming depravity and fierce splendor, I stumble over that which makes all the dangers worth braving.
Armed with little more than the vampiric gift to preserve a consciousness during a turning, I fumble toward a nightmarish ecstasy.
Being a nobody compelled to greatness isn’t easy… It’s Beatific.
