The Venantium Auallonia Trilogy: Summer Tide

This is a story I wrote a long time ago. I was about 12 and obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer when I started writing it. I mainly wrote it for myself as a method of self-therapy, even self-published it for a time, but It never got anywhere. Im hoping maybe putting it on a site like this will give it some recognition. If you've liked what you read here, there is a second book titled Midsummer Sky that you can read on here as well. Commentary of all forms and rating is welcome.

Here's the description:

"But all the story of the night told over,

And all their minds transfigur'd so together,
More witnesseth than fancy's images,

And grows to something of greater constancy;
But, howsoever, strange and admirable."
˗˗William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

In May of 1827, Emery Winchester, a young man who like his uncle was a starving artist living off the streets of downtown London. Until the night he was murdered by a beautiful woman that was less than human, awakening as an immortal, and a vampire. From this, he swore off love for eternity. Now almost 200 years later, in quaint little Cape Cod, fate gives him an cruel deal. Dawn Waters, another anti-love supporter because of abuse, neglect, and sexual assault, finds herself falling in love with the strange newcomer. There's something off about him that sends Dawn into a roller coaster of life changing events...
