First Bite: A Paranormal Mystery with Romance

The Blood Born Origins: A Paranormal Women's Romance

By: R.F. Price

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Before he was known as Dracula, there was her. His first bite.

First Bite opens The Blood Born Origins—a lush, atmospheric tale of love, loss, and becoming. This is a paranormal women's romance where compassion turns into a curse, and a woman’s heart must choose between hunger and hope.

On a storm-swept night in 1853, Elara Dane saves a mesmerizing traveler. By dawn, he is gone… and she is forever changed. Her pulse slows. Sunlight burns. The world she loves fades into twilight. One man refuses to abandon her—Lucien Ward, a physician whose devotion becomes her tether as reason fails.

It is not his story; it is hers—the woman history forgot. Before the world whispered of counts and castles, there was the first heartbeat after the bite.
