Last Keeper’s Daughter by Rebecca Trogner $50 Giveaway!!!


Last Keeper’s Daughter
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.

EXCERPTS 

Krieger knew about Martha and the role she’d played in Lily’s life. He also knew that Lily could not simply disappear. And so he went in search of Martha and found her sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee. He sat down next to her, capturing her eyes and putting her into a light trance. He looked out at the pool, which was right outside the windows, and thought of Lily lying in the sun.

“My name is Krieger Barnes.”

“Of course,” she smiled, relaxing into his trance. “You’re even more handsome without a shirt.”

Krieger’s shirt was stained with Lily’s blood. He’d taken it off before searching for Martha. He had no idea what Martha was referring to; he’d not met her before. A vampire’s trance, done effectively, elicited complete honesty from humans. He lifted his eyebrow in question.

“Lily had it with her. It’s a lovely painting. She shouldn’t have folded it.”

“Where is this painting?”

“In her room, on the side table.”

“Relax, enjoy your coffee. I will be back in a moment.”

It took only a second for him to reach Lily’s room, and another until he found the painting. He’d known about his keepers’ journals and how they passed them down from one generation to the next. It had seemed harmless until now. Cornelius Ayres must have painted this from memory around the 1850s. Cornelius was his favorite keeper, so much that he’d offered to make him vampire.
