Everyone says vampires aren't real. Tommy Lucas isn't so sure. Nine-year-old Tommy Lucas needs a bone marrow transplant to survive. But he's convinced his disease is a curse on his bloodline, that he's a vampire. His mother's an oncologist, but Tommy believes only magic can cure him--or the same synthetic blood substitute developed for urban legend Viscount Claudius Fallon. Tommy is stoked when he discovers a five-part series about Fallon in an online pulp fiction magazine called Philly's Argosy. Descended from a ruling class of vampires in Cardiff, legend has it that Fallon traveled to Eureka Springs, Arkansas seeking a cure for his own leukemia during WWII. Tommy's quest leads him to befriend local artist and gallery owner Callan Masters, who struggles with his growing affection for Tommy's mom, June--for he is Fallon, cured in 1939 at the Norman G. Baker Cure-for-Cancer Hospital. Dedicated to living off-grid, Callan must decide whether he will take the risk involved in helping Tommy or falling in love with June. His bite is no longer capable of turning anyone--or so he thinks.
