The Vampire and the Nephilim (Lilith's Legacy, #1)

In Arimoor, an island nation cradled by the Celtic Sea, vampires, demons, and Nephilim dwell among unsuspecting humans.

Victorian orphan Violet has spent her entire life confined within the orphanage walls and toiling in the textile factory. She has little knowledge of the world beyond, yet she dreams of the day when she'll turn twenty-one and gain her freedom.

One day, her familiar world shatters as flames engulf the factory. Overcome by the blistering heat and smoke, she falls unconscious, only to awaken to a new and shocking reality – she has become a vampire.

Guided by her sire, Lily, Violet gradually adapts to her new life. They reside in an enchanted forest, secluded and concealed from the vicious Rabisu vampires who have pursued Lily for ages. But one day, Lily vanishes, leaving Violet terrified and alone. For years, she hides away in her woodland home, emerging only to feed.

A century later, Violet ventures out and finds the world transformed. In the university library, she is astonished to meet a young man who sees past her glamoured facade. She learns that Casey is a Nephilim, part human and part supernatural.

Violet delves deeper into the modern world and its hidden beings. She searches for her missing sire and forges new friendships - including Remi, a captivating Nephilim who awakens a passion she has never known.

She also encounters an ancient and formidable vampire, Caine, who pulls her into the sinister web of the dangerous Rabisu vampires. Violet discovers that the Rabisu, under the command of the powerful matriarch Agrat, are on a mission to enslave humanity.

Will Violet and her companions rise to vanquish Agrat and save humanity, or fall to encroaching darkness?

In Arimoor, mystery, romance, and danger intertwine, forging a tale of ageless struggle and timeless love.
