Sacrifice

A half-human, half-vampire narrator has spent her life confined in her father's compound, possessing none of a vampire's strengths and all of a human's vulnerabilities. Her father sends her to Malachi Zion, the last vampire of his family, intending her to serve as a blood source and, potentially, a means to secure control over a new bloodline. As she comes to know Malachi, her initial impression of him as a monster shifts, and an attraction develops that grows more complicated when two of his friends arrive. Confined together, the characters navigate the tension between the narrator's longing for freedom and the connections forming among them.
