About The Last Keeper’s Daughter
Born into old money, Lily Ayres lives at Waverly, her family’s estate situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Paris, Virginia. She is a strange, small, almost mute, young woman who has no idea that her father has given her to the Vampire King Krieger. Walter Ayres is the King’s Keeper and part of a secret society of historians who unearth, preserve, and attempt to understand relics of long forgotten civilizations.
Lily has never felt comfortable in the human world, but after she suspiciously falls down a flight of stone steps, and is healed and claimed by Krieger, she realizes there is another world. In this Other Realm she feels a sense of belonging, and begins to untwine the mysterious event which left her mentally and psychologically damaged. When Walter disappears in England, Lily works with human and supernatural beings to uncover his whereabouts. With each new discovery, she is pulled deeper into the vortex of magic, intrigue, and dark desires that permeates the supernatural world. The revelations revealed unfold a story of deception and betrayal that threaten to tear the thin veil between the supernatural and human world asunder.
Excerpt
“You said, ‘my time’. You mean when you were human? How old are you?”
“I was born in the reign of Augustus Caesar.”
Her mind furiously worked through her history class timeline. “Before Christ?”
“Roughly two thousand years ago.”
There had to be a million questions she should ask, important things, and yet none of them came to mind.
“I thought people were smaller, less healthy back then, but you’re huge.”
He laughed, and she liked the sound of it. “I came from a tribe of warriors. We were considered giants in our time. The lands have changed hands many times since then but it was once called Germania under the Roman Empire.”
“Barbarians,” the word slipped out. She hadn’t meant to say it.
Krieger gave a wolf’s grin. “We were called that, and many other things. After my human death, I became a centurion.”
“But weren’t you fighting the Romans?”
He nodded. “I was to be sold for the gladiatorial games. A Roman took an interest in me, and the rest is history.”
“Did you want to become a vampire?”
She could see the question had caught him off guard.
“I wanted to live, and so I have.”
“And Liam, is he a werewolf?”
“He was born a werewolf. He became a Vantor.”
“I don’t understand.”
“When you feel more comfortable with Liam, you should ask him about the details. I will say that he and his pack are werewolves with vampire blood running through their veins. They are one of the most dangerous of the Others.”
