Mercian Trilogy series.
Eternally sixteen-year-old William, just awakened from one of his decades-long hibernations, needs lifeblood. He meets Eloise, an unhappy teenager living on the streets, and the two begin an odd yet tender friendship. Readers and Will wind through his history together, the complexities intriguing enough to keep pages turning. The writing is mature, and savvy readers will revel in the surprising ending.
