DeVante's Children (Revamped)

Kicked out of the house for being gay, eighteen year old Daniel Winthrop finds himself courted by sexy stranger Roderick, whose vampire delusion demonstrates there are stranger things in the world than men who love men. But when Roderick attacks him and drinks his blood, the only explanation is vampires are real, and Daniel’s perception of reality takes a huge shift. Compelled by the blood-thrall to follow Roderick away from his hometown, Daniel must retain enough self-identity to convince Roderick he’s not too young to become a vampire.
Roderick’s never made a fledgling before and he isn’t sure he knows how to do it by himself. He’d ask his own sire, DeVante, for help, but Daniel’s so young that DeVante will probably freak out. He might even punish Roderick for falling in love with Daniel. As if Roderick could help that. And then there’s the little problem of Katarina’s threats – Roderick was her captive in the past and he’s still screwed up from her sadistic little games… if she finds out about Daniel, if she manages to take him, hurt him – well, just the thought of it makes Roderick want to vomit. Roderick’s been in a lot of messes, but he has no idea how he’s going to fix this one.
