"Night's Children" continues Virginia's story ... she has escaped from 'The House' with Santan, her half-human, half-vampire son. As she tries to build a normal life, she is haunted by the knowledge that the Count Basarab Musat, Santan's father, will one day return for his son.In his home country, the count is busy trying to keep a family disaster at bay. As he fights to keep control, Virginia and his son consume his thoughts, threatening his focus, and in turn, all of humanity.However, a twist of fate has landed Virginia in trouble again. Her final night with the count has left her with the gift of another child. Virginia begins to dream ... dreams full of love ... turning to nightmares. The dreams tell her there are dark forces after her that are eviler than the count, and despite the monster he is in her dreams, Count Basarab may be the only one able to save them all Excerpt ...My Dearest Emelia: I trust this letter finds you in good health; and, by now, Basarab has found it in his heart -- if he has one -- to forgive you...Santan grows daily. I am worried because he still cannot tolerate the sun. I thought by now he would have adjusted, even just a bit. He sleeps most of the day and wants to play in the night. An unfortunate incident happened the other day. The young man, Randy, who drives me around, thought to take a peek at Santan, and he pulled across the special cover I had made for the baby's car seat. The sun seared Santan's cheeks. I had tried to stress to Randy that Santan had a serious sensitivity to the sun. Well, he believes me now...Now for the most urgent news I have to burden you with. I am with child again -- his child. I guess, in some ways, I should be thankful, for it means Santan will have a brother or sister. However, I cannot help worrying. will this child be the same as its brother, or will it be more like me? Either way, I could be in trouble. Do you have any advice for me? If Santan eventually partakes in his father's 'habits, ' how will I be able to protect this new child? How safe will I be?...I'll wait (eagerly) to hear from you.Love, Virginia
