The Hellers have fought the local vampires for generations, although a precarious truce has kept both the vampires and the Hellers from offing each other for the past 50 years. When Kunigunde was 7, her grandmother (the main Heller vampire hunter these days) took her to meet the vampire lord (I guess to further seal the truce and let young Kunigunde meet her foe? The reasoning isn't entirely clear.) Anyway, Kunigunde immediately falls in love with the vampire's library (like anyone would), and when she meets him again later, falls for the vampire himself. Much drama ensues.
The subtitle of this book is "a vampire opera in verse," so it's a 134-page epic poem that definitely has all the melodrama that an opera requires. It's a classic vampire story though, so if you're in the market for that, it's quick and worth a read.
