Found alone in the woods, she appears to be a little black girl with traumatic amnesia and near-fatal wounds. But Shori is fifty-three-year-old vampire with a ravenous hunger for blood, the lost child of an ancient species of near-immortals who live in dark symbiosis with humanity. Genetically modified to be able to walk in daylight, Shori now becomes the target of vast plot to destroy her and kind. And in the final apocalyptic battle, her survival will depend on whether all humans are bigots - or all bigots are human."--Cover ER -
