The Stranger

For as long as she can remember, Kyra Faulkner has longed for a life of adventure in the Shield Guild. She wants to travel to the unknown, meet people from all walks of life, and live to protect the world she knows, a world full of what humans would call monsters. As if her parents' disapproval of her desired lifestyle is not annoying enough, her indecisive twin brother piggybacks onto her dream. Things only get worse when Kenai is awarded her dream job as a warrior and Kyra is forced to stay at home and hit the books, the last thing she wants to do. When she finally cannot take it anymore, she devises a plan, but it's risky. Whether she succeeds or not, she could die. Is a chance at happiness worth the betrayal of her dearly, beloved brother and leaving home? Or is there something better out there?
Things only get more complicated when she meets Robin, a monster, like Kyra. But unlike her, Robin used to be human and does not sympathize with Kyra's kind. Can she change Robin? Will she show him that there is more to the vampire world than the human myths? Or will he show her there is more to life than the Shield Guild?
