Review Summaries

"Magiere is a vampire-slayer, famous for her exploits, when in fact she has been exploiting the simple villagers she aids. With Leesil, a half-elf, and Chap, la large wolf-dog, they roam plying their trade--until they come upon vampires for real, and are forced to defend a community haunted by terror. Magiere finds more in this struggle than she bargains for, including the knowledge of a terrible truth about herself."
Tina Loflin, Resident Barb and J. C. Hendee Scholar
