- mother
- of
- Bree,
- her
- very
- opinionated
- teenaged
- daughter.
- It
- isn’t

- quietly
- practicing
- witch.

- details
- of
- his
- life
- as
- a
- vampire.
- Mykhalo
- Von
- Ludwig,

- New
- Agers.Zan
- is
- drawn
- inexorably
- into

- fears
- for
- her
- daughter’s
- safety.
- Bree,
- meanwhile,
- wrestles

- her
- own
- questions
- of
- faith,

- more
- sinister
- forces
- are
- taking
- an
- interest
- in
- their
- little
- town.Bree
- becomes
- the
- chosen
- one
- of
- an
- ancient
- Egyptian
- deity
- of
- horrifying
- power.

- stories
- of
- vampire
- history
