What Alisa has desired for five thousand years has finally come true: She is once again human. But now she is defenseless, vulnerable, and, for the first time in centuries, emotional. As she attempts to reconcile her actions as a vampire with her new connection to humanity, she begins to understand the weight of lifeand-death decisions. Can Alisa resolve her past and build a new identity, or is she doomed to repeat her fatal mistakes?
Review:
The book is amazing. I adore Pike's imagination and his perception of Vampires relating it to Indian literature. Albeit, his syntax escalates. The book foretells how Sita(the protagonist) conceived a child when she turned from Human to Vampire. We know that Vampires cannot bear a child... Sita conceived her child by becoming human through the alchemy of Arturo, Sita's past lover. Knowing that Ray, the believed reincarnation of Rama, is the child's father they raised it. Unfortunately, Ray is only an illusion, a maya, soon she discovers that Arturo is really the father of Kali Ka. I believe that you are now confounded by my review... But I prefer that you need to read the book to see how the transitions occured. I will leave you there hanging.
Jurisdiction:
I would recommend this book to Vampire fanatics. The twist with the charaters of Ramayana and Mahabarata is breathtaking. Just watch out for the ending, you may get flummoxed by a certain death.
