Daydreamer: The Order of the Kresnik by Rick Houghton

In the frozen heights of Szentély, monsters are forged—and feared. Haunted by loss and bound by a vow, Nura enters the mountain stronghold of the Order of the Kresnik to become a blade sharpened by grief, wielded by love. But as she trains to hunt the vampyres that shattered her family, a darker power stirs within—one that links her to a fury that threatens to unravel everything she believes in. As ancient enemies close in and the Order prepares for war, Nura must choose between discipline and rage, vengeance and mercy, hate and love. In a world where monsters wear many faces, becoming one might be the only way to survive. The third chapter of the Daydreamer Saga plunges deeper into the gothic heart of Europe, where blood runs cold, love burns bright, and the line between salvation and damnation is razor-thin. She survived the monsters. Now she must become one. Perfect for fans of Anne Rice, V.E. Schwab, Deborah Harkness, and Empire of the Vampire.
