THE LAST KEEPER'S DAUHTER
BY
REBECCA TROGNER
BLURB:
Born
into old money, Lily Ayres lives at Waverly, her family’s estate situated at
the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Paris, Virginia. She is a strange, small, almost mute, young
woman who has no idea that her father has given her to the Vampire King
Krieger. Walter Ayres is the King’s
Keeper and part of a secret society of historians who unearth, preserve, and
attempt to understand relics of long forgotten civilizations.
EXCERPT:
“Your
body is still adjusting.”
She
closed her eyes, listening to his voice. It vibrated through her body in ways
nothing else ever had. She felt joined to him emotionally. Should I doubt my
lack of doubt? Her answer was no, and she opened her eyes to embrace a new
chance at life.
“Wine,”
Krieger ordered.
“I
don’t drink,” she whispered.
He
cocked his eyebrow at her, saying without ever speaking a word, “really.”
Lily
marveled at how easy it was to interact with him. She knew exactly what his
expression meant, and effortlessly responded to it. “I was nervous at the
event. I don’t like the alcohol taste. It burns my throat.”
Krieger
nodded. “Tell Liam what you’d like to drink, then.”
She
peered at the refrigerator; the clear glass front let her see what was inside.
“Juice, pomegranate.”
There
was a fluidity of motion to Liam’s body. He was very male, broad shoulders,
arms the width of her thighs, hands the size of plates, and yet he didn’t seem
tethered to the gravity of earth. He wasn’t slow, burdened down by his
musculature, but instead nimble and quick. Something as mundane as pouring a
glass of juice and placing it on the table became a type of performance art.
Lily mouthed thank you to him.
She
turned to find Krieger watching her, as intently as she’d been watching Liam.
“Liam
is charged with your personal protection. He is a Vantor,” Krieger explained.
