Fantasy Steampunk
In the steampunk world of Victorian London, a beautiful vampire seeks out the author of Draculaβto set the record straight . . . If one is to believe Bram Stokerβs legendary vampire tale, Lucy Weston is Draculaβs most wanton creation, a sexual creature of the night who preys on innocent boys. But the real-life Lucy is nothing like her fictional counterpartβand she demands to know why the Victorian author deliberately lied. With Stokerβs reluctant help, sheβs determined to track down the very fiend who transformed herβfrom the sensual underworld where humans vie to become vampires, to a hidden cell beneath a temple to madness, and finally into the glittering Crystal Palace where death reigns supreme. Haunted by fragmentary memories of her lost life and love, Lucy must battle her thirst for blood as she struggles to stop a catastrophic war that will doom vampires and humans alike. Ultimately, she must make a choice that illuminates for herβand for usβwhat it means to be human.
