Marion, poor and living in the slums, has an opportunity to leave behind her past and join the ranks of becoming a Bloodmaid. She takes the train North and is indentured to a Countess, Lisavet, and begins her training as a Bloodmaid in the House of Hunger. But something sinister is going on and Marion isn't sure if her feelings for Lisavet are getting in the way of uncovering the truth of who, and what, Lisavet is becoming.
This has a very very unique take on 'vampire' lore, with young women practically selling the blood in their veins to their respective lords and ladies of the North. Although a tradition, and not actual vampires, it builds on a Dracula-inspired world. I enjoyed Marion's character and her development as she discovered the truth of what was occurring in the House of Hunger. (06/2024)
