Lady of Darkness (Lady of Darkness, #1)

“Fae blood to the Night Children would be like… opium to an addict, I suppose. The Night Children are descended from the Avonleyans. When the Great War broke out, many sided with Deimas and Esmeary because the Avonelayns would not allow them to feed from the Fae. They forbid it. By fighting with Esmeray, they were basically allowed to feast.” “But you let Nuri feed from you?” Scarlett pointed out. “Yes, I did,” Sorin replied, reaching around her with a piece of bread. Scarlett took it from him without thinking as he continued. “If a Fae is fed upon and not drained and killed by a Night Child, they actually become a bigger threat to the Night Child. The Fae becomes immune to that vampyre’s entrancing, and the vampyre cannot harm that Fae until his blood has left the vampyre’s system which takes days.”
