Book Description
Blind but able to see auras, Starla Moon's world is anything but dark. Her white hair, ivory skin, and crystal-pink eyes target her for human ridicule. Her ability to communicate silently with animals allows them to guide her without stumbling. She is different, definitely not human. Starla is comfortable living on her animal reserve, tucked quietly into the Idaho Mountains. But 48 hours after her father's death, she finds herself face to face with Victor, a roguish vampire who wants to kill her. Her magical powers ignite, freeing her from his clutches. In a hasty escape, destiny opens the door for Nicolas Angel, her true love, to rescue her. Entering the vampire world she longs to know, Starla must fight to prove her worth amongst the Protectors, who are the super heroes of this magical but perilous realm. Evil in many different forms stalks the land. Finding her courage within, Starla goes into battle, swooping down on a dragon's back, killing the enemy with her wand and leaving the Protectors on the ground marveling at the sight. Pride and strength surge from within her, breaking the bonds of weakness that have kept Starla hidden from her true identity: the first female Protector. Protector's Awakening is book one in The Protectors series, a vampire fantasy epic about finding true love, crusading against evil, and creating family. Tami Blake grew up in Seattle, Washington and currently resides in Jacksonville, Florida. A nurse by profession and lifelong lover of fantasy fiction, she was encouraged to write this book by her husband and sister. When not working or writing, she enjoys knitting and crocheting.
