Vampire-Child-Koribella

Vampire Child, Koribella is a myth-soaked gothic fantasy that weaves the ancient threads of Celtic and Gaelic lore into a fiercely feminist coming-of-age tale.

Set in a reimagined Alba (Scotland), where supernatural clans still govern the forgotten edges of land and sea, the story follows Koribella, the daughter of a warrior vampire and a forest guardian, as she unravels the legacy buried in her blood.

Raised in secrecy on the isle of Mull, Kori believes herself to be an ordinary girl—until myth comes knocking.

As ancient powers stir and supernatural forces tighten their grip on the land, she is forced to confront not only her hybrid heritage but the cost of being born into two worlds that both claim and fear her.

At the heart of the story is Arranah, her mother—a Boabhan Sith who once led armies and now lives in quiet defiance, raising her daughter far from the blood politics of her kind.

Their relationship anchors the novel’s emotional arc: mother and daughter bound by love, haunted by history, and torn by destiny.

Drawing deeply from the original Celtic and Gaelic myths, not the pop-culture echoes, the novel resurrects the wild, terrifying, and beautiful creatures of Highland lore—Boabhan Sith, Dark Fae, Cù Sìth, Cat-Sìth, Wulvers, Kelpies, Brownies, Pechts, and ancient forest spirits—giving them depth, dignity, and danger.

Each being is not simply magical, but mythic in structure, tied to the land and to ritual, echoing the oral storytelling traditions of the Celts and Picts.

But this is no nostalgic fairy tale.
Vampire Child, Koribella is a modern reckoning with old power.

It explores how female strength is shaped, repressed, and reborn—how myth can be reclaimed through memory, resistance, and kinship.

The story is deeply feminist, not through grand declarations, but through quiet acts of endurance, maternal protection, friendship, and chosen family.

Here, the girls do not await rescue—they rescue each other.

Lyrical, layered, and grounded in the raw, unpolished wildness of Celtic landscapes, Vampire Child, Koribella offers readers a world where ancient spirits walk beside us, where power comes at a cost, and where a girl can rewrite prophecy simply by surviving it.
