Humans Have Always Had to Fight Plagues … “This book was exactly what I was looking for. A breath of fresh air, as it tells the tale of a commoner thrust into a world of lords and vampires. It spans many years with many historical events, times, and places not like your average twilight telling in a high school back ground. I would recommend this book to anyone.” — Sanders The only future Vallachia could have imagined, as well as her wonderfully simple life disappears when she finds herself in a struggle to figure out the rules of a strange new world. She longs for her old life and the one she truly loves remains out of reach, as she embarks on an inconceivable journey.
