Stowaway

Seventy years and the silence remained blissful for Aurora Eleftheria in her little cottage by the lakeside, who spent her days immersed in books, music, or the latest scientific discoveries. Her life was secluded and busy, just as it had been when she was merely twenty years-old. But unlike her earlier years, she was alone and undisturbed by family or any other nuisance that took the form of a sentient person. She was self-sufficient and content, free to decide when she wished to be sociable and remained in good standing with the surrounding vampire community. She had created the life she always wanted, complete with an adopted family of endearing people to take the place of her enormous biological one and remarkable success under a mysterious pseudonym.

And all it had taken was a single act of supposed carelessness to destroy her carefully cultivated peace, resuscitating memories left long and rightfully buried.

Now she had a vulnerable fledgling to protect, a vindictive horde of vampires on her tail, and a conspiracy to unravel if she was to regain any hope of returning to her former life.

And she'd be damned if she'd let anyone take away her happily ever after again.
