Vampire Dark Fantasy --- David is a wandering vampire unclaimed by his maker, who must operate in secrecy to avoid conflicts with the ruling Darkling. When he comes near Alexandria, the Capital of the Union of Darkland Nations, David finds the locals already spooked by a series of blood-drained murder victims. As suspicion falls on David, he looks for help from Union sympathizer Louis DeParis and his daughter Claudia, a young woman all but promised to one of the ruling vampires. As they search for the one responsible for the murders, David and Claudia become quickly enamored with each other. A continued relationship will destroy Claudia's hopes of becoming an apprentice in the capital. And, their search leads to figures with influence enough to destroy both their futures and their lives. --- PG-13 Some fantasy and vampire-related violence and some non-explicit sexuality. 2nd Draft
