What if the Twilight series were Catholic? This is what happens in this heartwrenching novel of a young man of only 800 years old! Vampires are no longer outcasts in this world, as you read of Floyd's acceptance into the ranks of the most prestigious Church. His knowledge, his friends, and his sister, Lucia Fiat, help him understand what it means to live, when the world around him has lost its rigor. Throughout his life, Floyd has been in many shoes. Once as a scribe for St. Thomas Aquinas. Twice a prison guard at the London Tower. Much later in life, he meets a poor nun on the streets of India which makes him reflect on his broken past. In many words or none at all, Floyd is determined to save his soul from eternal decay, from succumbing to an inner hell where the worm never dies.
