Queen of the Lycans and Vampires
by Trevor A. Bailey

Can the creatures of the night finally learn to share the day? The cost of the endless fighting between lycan, vampire, and human has been in blood. The death and suffering spread by predator going up against prey has been enough to sate even the thirstiest vampire—until one vampire queen asked, “What if we didn’t have to fight?” Isabella Castellanos is heir to that legacy; a fragile peace, the first of its kind. The rules of the night have changed, and Queen Isabella hopes to raise her son in a kinder world. But centuries of hatred are hard to shed in a handful of decades, especially for the immortals among us. When discontent rises and a faction of anarchistic supernaturals longs for a return to the fighting, Isabella must strengthen her alliances, test her body and mind, and learn new ways of living to keep all her people safe. With determined allies, new friends, and one deeply unusual vampire at her side, Isabella will see her delicate alliance, along with the strength and ingenuity of its members, pushed to its limit. A new dawn is coming, and Isabella intends to be around to see it—vampire or not.

Trevor A. Bailey thinks it might be about time to put aside old grudges and learn to work together. In the world today, vampires and lycanthropes might be an easier pill to swallow than that one, but that’s why stories are so important. Isabella Castellanos is the beginning of a planned series exploring every little ripple outward from this strange truce and imagining a world where everyone can belong. When he’s not stretching his imagination with books, comics, and all kinds of stories, Bailey likes puzzles and spending time with his grandson. Bailey lives in Laird, Ontario with his wife of 36 years.
