Ruqwik is the head of security of her vampire Enclave and is used to a daily, somewhat boring, routine, until a human tries to escape one of her Baron's Barns - a settlement where humans are exclusively bred for their blood. But Barn-bred humans are programmed and brainwashed to never want to leave the Barns! Ruq has to find out who this human is with the audacity to think that this would ever work, especially on her watch!But when she tracks Hadley down, there's no way Ruqwik could have known how this one human would completely and irrevocably flip her life upside down.*This is the companion book to "Beyond The Walls", with the story written from Ruqwik's (the vampire's) perspective.Best Ranks so far:#2 Speculative (out of 1.26k stories) - 03/06/2023…

Two hundred and fifty years after the world ended and the vampire's reign began, Hadley's pregnant mother Aadya, and her mother's sister, Aunt Zenobia, are Wildlings captured and brought into a Compound to reinvigorate the gene pool of genetically modified humans bred to supply the vampires with blood. They are sworn to secrecy of the outside world under threat of losing their tongues, their lives, or worse, their daughters' lives.However, Aunt Zee breaks the rules and tells curious, intrepid Hadley everything about the Wildlings, training her to survive the outside world. And when Hadley turns twenty, only weeks away from Conception Day, she becomes the first human in history to ever escape a Barn, determined to give birth to her daughter in the company of her mother's people - the only truly free humans in the world - The Wildlings.It was supposed to be a simple plan: escape the Compound, get her bearings, then use Aunt Zee's map to locate the Wildling tribes. And if Hadley ran into a vampire, Aunt Zee's one and only rule was "incapacitate and run".But what happens when Hadley meets the dangerous and devastatingly gorgeous Ruqwik and has to break the rules by forming an uneasy alliance with the vampire? Because, after twenty years, everything beyond the Compound walls has changed, and vampires are the least of her worries.Best Ranks so far:#1 in Speculative (out of 1.25k stories) - 01/06/2023#11 in Post-apocalyptic (out of 12.4k stories) - 22/10/2023…
