Immortal Lucy - KIERSTEN WHITE
A love story set in an epic and seductive gothic fantasy.
Her name was written in the pages of someone else's story: Lucy Westenra, one of Dracula's first victims.
But her death was only the beginning. Ever since Lucy rose from the grave as a vampire, she has spent her immortal life trying to escape Dracula's clutches and trying to discover who she is and what she truly wants.
Her undeath takes an unexpected turn in 21st-century London, when she meets another woman, Iris, who also longs to escape her past. Iris's family has built an empire based on the health business thanks to a sinister secret, and they will do anything to stay in power.
Lucy had long thought she would never love again, but she finds herself drawn to the charming Iris, and Iris, in turn, falls under Lucy's spell. But this intense bond and the burgeoning love between them are threatened by external forces. Iris's mother will not let her go without a fight, and Lucy's past still has fangs: Dracula is once again lurking.
Lucy Westenra has been tragically killed, a solitary adventurer and a formidable huntress, but happiness has never accompanied her. Will she find the strength to destroy Dracula once and for all, or will her heart play tricks on her again?
"White has crafted a gothic story as deep and dark as grave dirt and as lush as freshly spilled blood." AVA REID, New York Times best-selling author of Lady Macbeth
"Immortal Lucy brims with White's signature wit and biting prose; it is a gothic work of art. I loved everything I read in this book." ERIN A. CRAIG, New York Times best-selling author of House of Salt and Sorrows
"Smart, oppressive, and sensual. This descent into Lucy's long undeath breathes fresh air into the Dracula myth. Immortal Lucy perfectly showcases the transformative power of love and all the forms monsters can take." LUNA MCNAMARA, author of Psyche and Eros
