Embraced by the Shadows
by Mayra Calvani

In a bazaar in Istanbul one evening, ten-year-old Alana Piovanetti glances into the shadows to find a man watching her. He smiles, and over time she convinces herself that it was just her imagination that placed sharp fangs amongst those flashing teeth. Twelve years later, all set in her new apartment with her childhood friend Valeria, Alana is surprised when she is chosen to manage a new restaurant opening in San Juan, La Cueva del Vampiro. At the same time, she is also plagued with dreams of dark sensuality, dreams that take on shattering reality when she meets the charismatic Sadash. For Sadash is the man she saw in the shadows so many years before, and Sadash isn't human.
