Description
From the author of the ground-breaking 'Deathsworn Arc' fantasy series, comes a new take on the vampire novel.
For centuries, a hidden clique of vampires ruled Europe from the shadows. Then they created Ofelia. Turned into a vampire against her will at the age of 11 in the 15th century, Ofelia has never aged.
After centuries of hunting vampires, she's on her way to Stonehenge to perform a ritual, which she hopes will restore her humanity. However, an unfortunate turn of events will see her taken for an orphan, placed in a children’s home and forced to attend school.
When her copy of the ritual vanishes, she loses all hope of lifting her curse.
Worse still, it turns out she hadn't defeated all the vampires, and the one remaining vampire needs her blood to rebuild the vampire dynasty with him at the head.
Now Ofelia faces a choice: embrace her immortality and usher in a new generation of vampires, or finish what she started.

this was a unique take on vampires and I really enjoyed going on this journey. The characters were great and I really enjoyed the writing.

A thrilling tale of a young vampire who wishes to be human again. Of Ofelia has lived for centuries with the help of humans along the way. She feels she is close to getting her wish of being human again but does not know that there are forces at play to prevent this. Themes of friendship, self awareness and love are throughout the book.
It is a one sitting read. It would be nice if it was a series but if not, one can reread this tale for ages.

Thanks to NetGalley for access to the eARC!
Yet another clever twist on the vampire theme. Our main character, Ofelia, has been around for centuries but still looks 11 years old. She's a sweet caring little girl old vampire who has spent the last few hundred years killing off all of the other vampires in Europe. So she thinks...
Wonderful ending, by the way :)
