9781701352193: Vampire State

Synopsis

“Die. It’s the only way out. Become one of us, Rowena.”
I’ve come a long way from hustling kids for test answers.

First Sanguinia’s vampire soldiers rolled over my home country, now Vincenzo, the Legatus’ son, is hassling me to become one of them. At least we agree on politics. “Keeping humans as slaves is wrong,” he says. Duh! But his plan for us to have a public relationship, “normalize” human vampire couples, seems a little sketchy. But hey, he’s paying for the dresses and the tickets to fancy balls.

I’m not sure I like the way the press talks about me. The pressure to die, turn “pale” is mounting, it’s tearing my family apart, and the whole time Emperor Dominus is practically breathing down my neck.

Is there any way I can get out of this? Keep the family together, or am I just a piece in a thousand year long game?

Vampire State is the first in a series of five contemporary fantasies: fast-paced dystopian novels with a romantic twist.

Reviewers say "Charalambides … build(s) an original and thoroughly engaging dystopian adventure that crosses genres from strictly YA, the traditional target of vampire stories, to a much more mature mainstream tale that should entertain adult readers as well." PublishersDailyReview
