The first installment in the BITE trilogy, The Ballad of Lilly Finn puts a new spin on the traditional vampire genre. Transcending time and mythology, part one introduces us to complex characters, visceral emotions and gritty action sequences.

Synopsis

The Ballad of Lilly Finn begins with a young woman on her wedding night in the late 1800’s. When the music and celebration draws JOSEPH, a vampire who has been trapped in the wilderness for three decades, out of the cave that has provided him shelter, he runs rampant through the wedding party, feeding and restoring himself on the blood of those gathered. Dragging Lilly back to the dark confines of the cave, he becomes transfixed by her beauty and “turns” her, forcing her to feed for the first time on her unlucky groom. Joseph’s plans for companionship and escape are undermined when Lilly, fueled by the hatred for what he has forced her to become, sets him on fire and escapes as the sun rises…

In modern day Detroit, Lilly hides among the nightlife. Aided by her companion MAGGIE; a bloodthirsty new “Hemavore” with an unquenchable drug addiction, Lilly is searching for more than just her next meal. She plans to put an ancient myth to the test that a female vampire can become pregnant by a human male descendant of the vampire that turned her. She seduces young THEO DEKKER, only to find out that the true source of what she seeks is his older “brother” JOHN DEKKER. Dealing with the complications of a love triangle is only the beginning as Joseph has also tracked her down and John’s work has started him towards a life of vampire hunting. Lilly’s quest for a family will turn brother against brother and ignite a war between enemies of the past and hope for the future…
