Summary
A dutiful daughter is a useful creature indeed. When Elena Lupu falls under Mother Miranda's notice at a disastrous tithing festival, she proves too valuable for the prophetess to kill. Lady Donna Beneviento has been keeping secrets from Miranda, secrets she can't abide, and Elena is the perfect cuckoo to send straight into Beneviento's nest. Spy on her, report her findings back to Miranda, and Elena- and her ailing father- get to live.
But Lady Beneviento's secrets, and her powers, prove more nightmarish than Elena could ever have dreamed. Even as she falls deeper and deeper into Donna's web, she can't help but wonder- who is she really, under the veil?

Summary
"It must be said, however, that what truly sealed the maiden’s fate was not the testament she would pay to the coven. It was not the loss of blood nor the grotesque injuries she had acquired, even if they had left her more pliable than normal. In fact, at the core of the matter, her demise had nothing to do with the series of unfortunate events that took place that special night. Nothing at all. This is because the sort of person that promptly escapes from a vampire’s lair is a completely different entity from the sort that, for one reason or another, lingers behind."
An exploration of vampiric companionship.
