THE NARSSICA NOVEL

Delphine Devereaux is the daughter of a controversial movie star and a genius inventor who created metaliester - a miracle fabric lighter than silk, stronger than steel. When both parents vanished, they left her the richest little girl in the world, her mother's striking amber eyes, and zero love to go with it. Raised by a religious fanatic who taught her that beauty was vanity and money was sin, Delphine grew up trapped. So she built herself into something extraordinary: a world-class fashion designer, flawlessly beautiful, meticulously curated. But beneath the wigs, the money, the fame and all that glamour? Nothing. No weight, no roots, no truth anchoring any of it.

Evangelyne Batista, an ageless movie star and one half of Hollywood's most elite power couple, doesn't just dominate the competition - she devours it. The gorgeous vampire traps every ingenue in her Butterfly Collection, a room where women enter as young starlets only to become sustenance for her insatiable desire to stay eternally beautiful.

After a run-in with Evangelyne, Delphine's memories of her missing parents are triggered. Amidst a downward spiral, she discovers a secret lab in her parents' mansion and meets B.I.L.L.i.E. - an antique robot created by her father to be a perfect copy of his consciousness. B.I.L.L.i.E. gives her the intel, but that's not what makes her dangerous.

Delphine is visited by Nyx - a sorceress whose ancient Egyptian mysticism feels completely foreign to Delphine, except for one thing: those same amber eyes. Nyx gives her a magic perfume: "With this elixir of liquid love I declare you Narssica, Defender of the Beautiful Dreamers and Breathless Visionaries." The perfume awakens something ancient in Delphine's blood - the fiery breath of Sekhmet. Her newfound strength creates a super stylish vigilante - the only human vampires fear.

After a revenge tour that has Narssica burning down Hollywood, she discovers Evangelyne's Butterfly Collection - every actress that dared to challenge Evangelyne... all but her mother. Using her weaknesses against her, the Vampire elites lure Narssica into a trap casting her into the underworld.

Underwood - a vampire supercity buried beneath Hollywood - holds all the answers about her missing parents, the Cannibal Queens, the Vampirazons, and the Red Roman Empire's ambition to dominate mankind. Narssica goes on an odyssey searching for meaning, but what she truly finds is herself.

Descend to Ascend.
