Abstract
My master’s project is the first 50 pages of my untitled New Adult Paranormal novel projected 90,000 words. At 18-years-old, Arianna Strumes marries her high school sweetheart Brian—who just so happens to be a vampire. Her marriage pulls her into the vampire world, where human thralls are the last rung on the ladder of the vampire hierarchy. The new couple has a change of plans when they move into the domain of Tess, a vampire Lord who runs a punk rock club named Bete Noir. A family legacy Arianna has been ignorant of her entire life begins to manifest, and Tess is the only one able to help her. But the vampire Lord has secrets of his own.
