Series
Dorina Basarab, Dhampir
Karen Chance · 7 novels · 3 novellas · 2 short stories · 2007–2024
Karen Chance's Dorina Basarab novellas spin off her Cassandra Palmer urban-fantasy universe to follow Dory, a dhampir - half-vampire, half-human - who hunts rogue vampires and other supernatural threats through a modern world of vampire senates and old-world power politics. Starting with Midnight's Daughter, the stories lean on Dory's short temper and violent competence, and her fraught relationship with her vampire father, rather than the longer per-book plots of the parent series. Several entries were released as shorter novellas and ebook-first stories rather than full novels.
