Falling Stars

By Julie Rogers

Book Overview

A boy with terminal cancer believes he's a vampire whose bloodline is cursed, that only magic can cure him.Tommy Lucas needs a bone marrow transplant within the next year to survive, but he knows only a synthetic blood substitute like the one developed for urban legend Viscount Claudius Fallon can save him. Fallon, a descendant of a ruling class of vampires from Cardiff, Wales, traveled to Eureka Springs, Arkansas seeking a cure for his own leukemia during WWII.Shortly after Tommy's adoptive mother, June, uproots them from Chicago to her hometown, Tommy befriends Callan Masters, a renowned racehorse painter with a swanky art gallery in historic downtown Eureka. Callan bends an ear to Tommy's ideas and struggles with his growing affection for June, for he is Claudius Fallon, cured in 1939 at Norman G. Baker's Cure for Cancer Hospital. Since dedicated to remaining off-grid as human, Callan must ultimately weigh whether he's willing to take on the risks involved in helping Tommy and falling in love with June. After relying on a synthetic substitute for most of his life, Callan's bite is no longer capable of turning anyone-or so he thinks.
