Blood & Shadows [A Twilight Fanfiction]

In the year 1024 A.D., before covens, before laws, before mercy-there was only hunger.

Eleanor was once a shield maiden-fierce, loyal, and human. But when she survives an attack by a crazed, starving vampire, her fate is sealed in fire and agony. Left to endure a transformation she never chose, Eleanor awakens as the very monster she despises.

But where others succumb to the thirst... Eleanor chooses something different.

Hatred.

Refusing to embrace the life forced upon her, she turns her curse into a weapon. With every ounce of her stolen immortality, Eleanor hunts the very creatures that created her-vampires who see humans as nothing more than prey. In a world where the line between monster and savior blurs, Eleanor walks it alone, driven by vengeance and a vow she will never break:

Destroy them all.

As centuries pass and the vampire world evolves into something far more structured-and far more dangerous-Eleanor's war is far from over. Because some monsters don't just hunt in the shadows...

They rule from them.

And they will not let one of their own become their undoing.
