کتاب Dust of the Earth (رمان گرد و غبار زمین)

Born both human and vampire, Nikki dreams of the sun on her skin, of watching dawn spill across the world without fear. But the older she gets, the more her vampiric qualities grow. Her skin toughens. Her muscles strengthen. Worst of all, her blood cravings intensify. All she wants is solitude to study the mysteries of her kind. To figure out why some vampiric offspring are magic wielding mortals, why vampires need to consume blood to survive, and all the other mysteries of the supernatural world around her.

But then Xander arrives at her university. Warm as the inviting sun, Nikki can’t stop herself being pulled into his orbit. As she spends more time with him, so do voices that beckon to her, making Nikki believe he is more than a mere mortal.

As Nikki and Xander grow closer, secrets and ancient feuds threaten to tear apart both their budding relationship and her coven. With her world falling apart, Nikki must decide between preserving her past or protecting the one she loves.
