Sometimes the monsters dwell within.
A Chimeric Vampire's Tale is a New Adult urban fantasy story.
Chimera—a mythical being of incongruous parts; an organism of different genetic components; a thing hoped for, an unrealizable dream.
True Blood vampires have existed since the dawn of Man, but Mel is the First Chimera. A vampire who was made, not born. Long thought dead, he's back for vengeance with an agenda fatal to all who stand in his way.
His goal? Evolution.
The price? A mass culling, to force this change upon all vampires.
Henry is a True Blood. Cheng is an ancient Chimera. Brought together, they must fight Mel. Or the world as they know it will be altered forever.
What lengths will Henry and Cheng go to achieve their agendas? Will Mel attain the vengeance he thirsts for? Or will all their goals prove to be a chimera?
A Chimeric Vampire's Tale is a story of unfulfilled wishes, unrequited desires, and shattered dreams.
