The Stone Vampire

WHEN YOU'RE AN IMMORTAL, DYING CAN TAKE FOREVER ...My name is Jerusa Phoenix, the only vampire in existence who can speak with ghosts, and I'm slowly turning to stone.The one thing I need to reverse this agonizing vampire disease is the only thing the ghost, Alicia, inexplicably forbids me to have. She has her reasons, I'm sure, and I trust her, but the pain of the devouring stone is driving me mad.If only she could tell me why I must endure this agony. But the dead don't speak.Hunted and battle-weary, my allies risk it all as they fervently search for an alternative way to save me. My prospects grow weaker by the hour. One fleeting, yet dangerous, hope exists.But sometimes the cure is worse than the sickness.Though it may already be too late, my friends will stop at nothing to restore me.Even if it means destroying everything I love.
