VBT: EXCERPT TOUR & GIVEAWAY - THE LAST KEEPER'S DAUGHTER BY REBECCA TROGNER

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.

Lily has never felt comfortable in the human world, but after she suspiciously falls down a flight of stone steps, and is healed and claimed by Krieger, she realizes there is another world.  In this Other Realm she feels a sense of belonging, and begins to untwine the mysterious event which left her mentally and psychologically damaged.  When Walter disappears in England, Lily works with human and supernatural beings to uncover his whereabouts.  With each new discovery, she is pulled deeper into the vortex of magic, intrigue, and dark desires that permeates the supernatural world.  The revelations revealed unfold a story of deception and betrayal that threaten to tear the thin veil between the supernatural and human world asunder.
 
 

 


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.
