Maisie Dracula looks like a sixteen-year-old porcelain doll in a half-height top hat and monocle. She is actually a thousand-year-old vampire who just wants to run her potion shop in peace.In the bustling Adventurers’ Market of Duskvale, she sells the best night-vision and healing potions in town—while secretly drinking monster blood to keep her hunger under control. No humans. No trouble. Just quiet nights and a carefully maintained lie.Then a crimson moon rises, a fellow shopkeeper turns into a feral vampire, and the Church’s Nightwatchers start knocking on every door.Maisie never bit anyone. She never wanted power. But when the investigation points toward her shop and the only way to survive is to drink human blood for the first time, the peaceful life she built begins to crack.Now the little potion-maker must hide her true nature, navigate suspicious Nightwatchers, and uncover the real killer lurking under the red moon—all while pretending she’s just a slightly grumpy, slightly short adult who really hates being called “kid.”A cozy-yet-tense fantasy about a reincarnated vampire trying (and failing) to live a quiet life… one carefully measured bottle of monster blood at a time.What to expect:A tiny, thousand-year-old vampire who just wants to run her potion shop in peace. Cute appearance, sharp tongue, and a carefully hidden identity. Cozy shop life mixed with rising tension as the Church starts hunting vampires. Mystery, light comedy, and a protagonist who refuses to become a monster… until she has no choice.
