📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A woman discovers she is a vampire with healing powers while fighting an ancient clan war.

Leslie wakes up with no memory and finds her job troubles trivial compared to becoming undead. Her new condition offers the benefit of healing others, yet it demands blood and emotional connection. This duality drives her into a hidden society defined by fire and old grudges. She must confront Kenworthy, the ruthless head of her kind, to survive. The story examines how personal love can clash with the brutal requirements of supernatural survival. Custer constructs a plot where romantic goals are tied directly to violent action against demonic forces. The narrative focuses on Leslie's internal struggle as she balances her humanity with her vampiric nature. It is a tale of survival through destruction, where capturing the enemy leader is the only way to achieve peace.

📝 Description: Twilight Healer

Barbara Custer writes Twilight Healer, a supernatural narrative exploring the sudden transformation of Leslie into a vampire. The story begins with her dealing with amnesia and professional stress, which quickly become secondary to her new existence. She discovers she possesses a healing gift, an advantage that contrasts sharply with her growing need for blood and love. These desires pull her into a conflict involving fire and ancient enemies. The plot centers on a centuries-old war between vampires and demonic deities. Leslie must navigate this dangerous world to secure a future with the man she loves. Her path requires her to capture Kenworthy, described as an evil and bloodthirsty leader of the vampire clan. Destroying him is presented as the necessary step to reclaim her life. This book suits readers interested in gothic romance and urban fantasy elements where personal relationships intersect with mythical warfare. It appeals to those who enjoy stories about supernatural healing and moral ambiguity within a clan structure. The narrative does not cater to readers seeking historical accuracy or non-fiction accounts of vampire lore, as it is a work of fiction published by Night to Dawn Magazine & Books in 2014.
