The Stream of Life — Kristin Stefanos

For a sanguinem vitae, survival is an all-consuming quest and fate makes no exception to this rule even for the sanguinem queen of the vampires. Survival of her family. Survival of the vampires closest to her. Survival of the world as ancient and terrible forces awaken from their hibernation. In the struggle for existence, the most difficult wars are not waged on the battlefield. And sometimes even those creatures who survived generations find the one thing they cannot survive is the darkness which lies within.
