My Name Is Vampyre: Book I of the Identity Trilogy

For five centuries, she was a masterpiece of the void. Now, she must burn away the masks to find the girl she left behind.In the autumn of 1420, Innocence was a clumsy tavern girl in a small German village, dreaming of nothing more than sewing hems and the simple comforts of a mortal life. But when a mysterious traveler named Michael enters her father’s inn, her world is shattered in a single, violent moment. Struck down and left dying, she is "saved" by blood—his blood—and wakes to a new, terrible existence. Torn from her family and forced to fake her own death, she steps into the shadows as something no longer human, beginning a dark odyssey that will span five hundred years of European history.As the centuries pass, Innocence vanishes behind a kaleidoscope of identities. Under the cynical tutelage of the predator Lucian, she wears names like Destiny, Envy, and Rue. She haunts Medici ballrooms and the smog-choked streets of industrial London, descending into a cycle of hunger, seduction, and cruelty. Yet, beneath the porcelain mask of an eternal predator, a quiet question remains: Is this all she was ever meant to be?A Gothic Tale of Sin, Grace, and the Long Road HomeIn the modern world, the hollow vacuum of her existence finally meets its match in Father Daniel Roberts, a priest who does not fear the dark. He offers her an impossible choice: remain an immortal monster or undergo a grueling spiritual restoration to reclaim her soul.
