Wake Of Vultures by Lila Bowen

The Shadow

Set in a gritty, supernatural version of the American Wild West, the story follows Nettie Lonesome, a biracial, gender-nonconforming orphan who discovers her true identity and hidden powers after a violent encounter with a vampire. As Nettie navigates a world filled with mythical creatures and dangerous foes, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, grappling with her past and embracing her destiny as a monster hunter. Her quest challenges societal norms and explores themes of identity, belonging, and the courage to forge one's own path.
