Right on!
Those vampires are awesome!
I wanted to do something different with my Blood of the Nagaran series so instead of vampires, I have serpenthrope. These are part human, part snake which creates some interesting tension and darkness for my characters and the story world.
Add a rising cult of snake worshippers, sacrificial offerings, and a sassy heroine who battles the darkness within while searching for answers to her heritage, throw in angels for good measure, and we have, The Flight of Torque.
