About the book

A rogue vampire threatens humans and undead alike in the thrilling young adult fantasy series that’s “fun, funny, and a relief from Twilight wannabes” (Booklist). Vampires and magic just don’t mix. That’s what Solange Drake is figuring out. Well, the real Solange. Not the madwoman who has taken over her body and ripped the Queen’s crown from her own mother’s hands to fulfill an ancient prophecy. The real Solange is trapped in the imposter’s mind—somewhere in twelfth-century Britain—where she faces the perils of witches, dragons, and knights. Meanwhile, back in Violet Hill, the fake Solange has gone on a blood-drunk rampage, feeding on civilians in blatant disregard of a decade’s worth of treaties. With her best friend possessed and her boyfriend missing, Lucy knows, if she doesn’t find a way to reach Solange, the human vampire hunters will exact their revenge—and bring a bloodbath down upon the town like no one has ever seen before. Love and loyalty. Betrayal and deception. The weapons at hand will determine who wins and who loses in this battle royale. Praise for the Drake Chronicles “Vampires with bite and girls who bite back.
