Evensong

Chatelaine was born into the blood-drinking Sanga race. She had no choice in the matter. Now she spends her life caught between the darkness and the lantern light, wishing she could be normal like the girls who come to hear her sing in the circus. At least she is protected there among her own people. Or is she? When a steely-eyed stranger appears in their midst, all of Chatelaine's illusions are shattered. She and her family face destruction and death from their own kind as well as from other, even more dangerous creatures that dwell in the night. And her only salvation may be in the arms of a human.
