The Austras are a family of vampires who live among mortals yet stay true to their own. They are always looking for a human woman who can be turned and give birth to children that are vampires. When a woman like this is found, the vampires keep a watch on her to protect her.
Richard Austra meets the vocally gifted Irene at the same university where they are studying music. They fall in love and Irene soon learns about Richard’s true nature and her importance to his family. Understandably she is a little freaked out by the whole thing and puts some distance between them by going on a tour in Romania. In Romania, an enemy of the Austras’ kidnaps her. Richard comes to rescue her, but he finds himself in danger as well.
Bergstrom compares Nocturne to Ann Rice’s vampire novels but it’s not quite the same. The Austra family vampires are not evil, they are just people with fangs. They attempt to live as normally as possible but keep to themselves. They also have a really scary relative that they keep tucked away from humans on a mountaintop. This is a vampire family that you will want to read more about.
