Brionwy's Lullaby

This is a story from the Night World book Strange Fate about the future—the future which awaits the world if the Apocalypse is not stopped.In this future, Dragons and vampires rule. The vampires pick the most beautiful of human girls, called Beauties, and keep them as slaves in harems. Brionwy is one such girl who is unlucky enough to catch her vampire master’s eye. There will be much more about Brionwy in Strange Fate, but this story is meant to stand alone.-----------Brionwy's Lullaby is a short story written by L. J. Smith. It was initially a sneak preview to the final book, Strange Fate, taking place in an alternate future in which the apocalypse of the Night World has come to pass and vampires now rule the earth. The tale centers around a beautiful girl, Brionwy, a member of a vampire harem who desires to escape before she is forced to become the lover of the lamia overlord, or fed to a dragon.----This story seems to have been expanded into "Lullaby", LJ Smith's first adult novel - one of three novels that were handed to her agent before her death.
