Occult Hand of the Blood Lily

The Dominion has fallen, and Europe has descended into fetid squalor. The Sky Wars rage on as raiders and crusaders duel in the air and pillage the ruined cities below. Vampiric lords carve up the continent and leave the scraps for distant empires to colonize and exploit. And in all of that, some still manage to eke out a peaceful life. Milli, daughter of a former lord in a secluded mountain village, lives as a hobbyist scholar, researching magic, science, and literature at her own pleasure. It’s a lonely life, but she has every intention of living out her days in safety. That is, until the Occult Hand attacks her home, kills her family, and pursues her across the continent. She’s only alive because of her willpower, her cunning, and her mysterious guardian, a vampire named Ellison. Both of them want the same thing--the destruction of the Occult Hand. And the only way to achieve their goal is to find the legendary Blood Lily before they do.
