Tags: standalone, urban fantasy, alternate history, action adventure, dynamic female heroines, found family, queer representation

One hundred years ago, the vampire Victory retired from a centuries-long mercenary career. She settled in Limani, the independent city-state acting as a neutral zone between the British and Roman colonies on the New Continent.

Twenty years ago, Victory adopted a human baby girl, who soon showed signs of magical ability.

Today, Victory is a city councilwoman, balancing the human and supernatural populations within Limani. Her daughter Toria is a warrior-mage, balancing life as an apprentice mercenary with college chemistry courses.

Tomorrow, the Roman Empire invades.


This revised edition features the author’s preferred text, a new introduction by author Lee Murray, a previously unpublished short story featuring Victory, and the essay “Limani: A Brief History” by Lady Zhinu Zhuanxu-Wallace.
