Narah's been sold out by the most unlikely source, and faces a far graver punishment than her original sentence by Magistrate Oren.

Marc and Murphy have now been caught in the crosshairs of her new life and face dire consequences as a result. Opposing forces and their hidden agendas continue to move Narah like a chess piece toward an inevitable stale mate.

Can Narah return to her old life? Will she be hunted for an escape that was beyond her control—or will her tie to Aeslin and Matthews help her regain all that's she's lost—and more than she ever dreamed possible?

Vampire is 50+ pages/11,000 words, and is the final volume of six episodic novelettes in the Vampire ALPHA CLAIM serial.
