Vampire's Magic - The Merged Worlds (Paperback)

In Vampire's Magic Stacey Bowen leaves life as a waitress/party girl in a dark alley near her apartment when a rogue vampire drains her of life. The shadow-wizard, Nash, finds her in time to prevent her complete death, but she isn't really alive, either. Using his magic he saves her into the undead life of a vampire. The potion that he uses in place of blood somehow meets her needs even though she desires human blood. As she gets used to being a vampire she takes up her life, resuming work at Dawn's as a waitress, connecting with her best friend Beverly and beginning to make new friends as a magical. Nash, though, had some very specific goals in mind for her when he saved her; he is a wizard after all. He didn't really save her out of the goodness of his heart. Stacey's sense of obligation compels her to work as his experiment. Soon Nash has her hunting rogue vampires and feeding off of them, not for their blood, that's too disgusting for her, but for their magic. When she starts dating the head of security from Dawn's, a werewolf named Everett her new life takes an even more surprising turn when she finds that the old Daggermen television show she loved as a teen was based on true life, an ancient tale of a small village fighting against being taken over by a vampire clan. He gives her a pair of the original, real, daggers and she finds out that the magic is still active in them... and they were waiting for her. It isn't all fun and dating for the young vampire when she and Nash realized they stirred an anthill as they cut down the rogue vampires. After they're attacked they go on the offensive, taking out a chain of vampires aiming at the head of those after them. But then Nash disappears and Stacey is left on her own. Unable to brew her own potion she turns to Pepper Paull, a good witch, for help. As she searches for Nash, refusing to believe he is dead she continues her mission of killing rogue vamps. Stacey's life has ended but her new one leads her into more of an adventure than she'd believed could happen. She has new friends now and when a demon vortex opens... even though she knows it's likely a trap, she goes in, hopeful, but she doesn't go alone...
