Calli Fang

Callidora Adisa doesn’t get left. Not anymore.

Callidora Adisa built everything herself. The blood bank. The reputation. The wall between her and a past that left her on a stranger's doorstep and drove away. She is a vampire — an Illusion, in the language of her world — surviving a pandemic that is hollowing out her community one compromised body at a time.

She is also something the world believes impossible, and she doesn't know it.

When a single night of grief and hunger gives birth to a product that can make the sick feel whole again, Calli becomes the most talked-about name in the underground. But every bottle carries a signature in the blood — and across an ocean, in the dark, something ancient has just caught the scent.

She wanted to build a business. She built a summoning.
