When the Sun Burns My Skin
by Alexis Lavoie
The city of Atarah rests on Vancouver Island and is a hub for the unexplained. Here, invasive blackberry brambles immediately regrow when cut, an expansive web of tunnels extends kilometres below the city, and twenty-five-year-old Rebecca Border is haunted by trauma and hunted by a demon in the shape of a bird. Narrowly escaping an attack from this Demon in Bird’s Clothing, Rebecca is saved by the vampire Alexis—who, Rebecca can’t help but notice, is as stunning as she is powerful. Alexis warns Rebecca of a looming vampiric threat, one Alexis has hunted since the Crusades and that is a danger to not only Atarah, but the entire world. Thrust into a battle she never asked for with monsters beyond her comprehension, Rebecca is set on a path that will lead her to not only confront her past but also discover the unexpected connections between her Indigenous heritage and the history of the vampires. Together, she and Alexis might just stand a chance of emerging from the coming war and their traumatic lives in one piece.
