The world has ended, and most of Earth's human population has been wiped out. Soon only vampires will be left, but that's a problem in itself. What will they eat? Who will they hunt? Nori and her new lover, Milo, are going to save the planet: so they can devour it.

"The first day passes, and she's the only thought taking up space in my mind. I have to remind myself to keep the fury burning, to not let it cool into acceptance. It's not about her. It's not about me, either. It's about them. My family. They shouldn't have gone out like that. I've got to do something about it. If I have to choose between my faith or action, I've made my decision which side I'll come down on. My faith wasn't solid ground anyway. Years of war have worn away at it."

My Vampire Nurse

As much as I want to be on my way, to keep my promise to my family, it can’t be done with the speed I’d like. Instead, it takes me another entire night to heal my injuries. Nori goes out and feeds, then returns and urges me to drink from her. She tells me my healing is astounding for a fledgling and I gently ask to stop calling me such. I won my place as princeps. No one is going to make excuses for me being newly turned anymore. Nor should they. A leader doesn’t get to make excuses, doesn’t get to be untested. Rising to the occasion isn’t an option but a requirement. She agrees, and the kiss she drops on my lips is both gentle and tinged with sadness. 


“Would you take it  back?” I ask her, not sure exactly what I’m referring to. The challenge. The fieldwork. Bringing me here at all.
