The Vampire's Doll

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Who can tame the heart of a vampire? A girl without blood.

When Parsons Belvray was eight, her mother was killed in an accident, and so was she--almost. Her grieving father saved her by having her soul placed in the body of a Fanarlem--an artificial girl brought to life by magic. But most Fanarlem are created for slave labor, not to live a privileged life as the daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the High Sorcerer's Palace. Now a young woman, Parsons has never known romance and struggles for respect, yearning for a more important role, but the only person who pays her any attention at all is the famous Peacock General.

Dennis is a vampire, strong and fast with a dangerous taste for blood--and a great loneliness. It's hard to find true love when you want to suck the life out of every woman you meet. It doesn't help that his blood has anti-aging properties and he's been tortured and treated like a human experiment by the palace sorcerers. When the Peacock General asks Parsons to hold the keys to his prison, she may also find the key to his heart.

This is part one of a two-part story.
