About the Book
They have always been among us. The vampires.
Evolving alongside humankind they would have been pleased to remain characters in scary movies.
But when an experiment gone wrong gets out and an entire town is consumed by mutant vampires, the only ones who can clean up the mess and save humanity is the hidden vampire clan of Bryony Island. They risked everything by revealing themselves. Since then humans and vampires have reached an uneasy détente.
Olive’s start in life was less than perfect. Left in a cardboard box in the emergency room at the age of three months, she spent her childhood bouncing around foster homes. She’s seen some hard times. But has always been clever and able to think on her feet. That is until she’s knocked completely off them when the queen of the famous vampire clan is introduced during the fifteen year anniversary broadcast commemorating the reveal. She looks exactly like Olive!
It's said everyone has a doppelganger, but this is crazy! And dangerous. Bound by her shared bloodline with the queen, Olive is a now a target for extremists and fanatics alike. The only safe haven for her is with the vampires on the lonely, rugged island they call home. The only person Olive can trust within the queen’s treacherous and often violent court, is herself.
And perhaps one other…
Dorian was once the queen’s favorite toy, but that was many years ago. He’s now the seemingly loyal steward and diplomatic envoy to the humans. Handsome and charismatic he is the face the vampires show the world. He’s suspicious of the queen’s motives behind taking in Olive and teaching the wayward human the secrets of the vampire people. Nothing good can come of it. For his people and especially for Olive.
