Sarai Davis does not merely discover that vampires exist in The Half Kasst; she learns that her own blood carries a history someone deliberately tried to erase. Delilah Belvedere builds that revelation around an ancient lineage, aristocratic vampires, inherited power, and a heroine forced to decide what reclaiming her identity will cost. The result places Sarai at the center of a conflict where ancestry is both weapon and target—and where awakening to her true nature makes her more dangerous to the people already hunting her.
An ancient bloodline.
A forgotten war.
A woman destined to awaken both.
The Half Kasst
by Delilah Belvedere
Genre: Paranormal Vampire Romance, Urban Fantasy
**NEW RELEASE!**
After a charged encounter ignites something ancient in her blood, Sarai Davis becomes entangled in a world of hidden magic where pleasure and danger are inseparable.
A shocking prophecy shatters her reality: Sarai is a Half Kasst, descended from an erased bloodline and born to stand against a secret network of aristocratic vampires.
Now hunted, Sarai must reclaim a legacy meant to be wiped from history, and embrace her power before the forces hunting her finish what they began millennia ago. But power always demands payment.
Kate adds, “She is right, Sarai. You must feed. If Half Kassts are anything like vampires, you don’t want to experience what starvation is like. My father…”
She pauses, looks around the room, then continues.
“My father punishes vampires who don’t follow his rules by locking them up, and he does not provide them any blood. It’s terrible. They wither away for years; their screams get weaker in just weeks, and after a few months, you don’t even hear them anymore.”
The most intriguing part of The Half Kasst is that Sarai's transformation is tied to a history that has been intentionally suppressed. Her discovery of what she is therefore becomes an act of reclamation as much as a supernatural awakening. The aristocratic vampires hunting her are connected to that erased bloodline, giving the conflict a deeper question beneath the immediate danger: who benefits when an entire legacy disappears?
The excerpt adds another layer to the book's vampire mythology by making blood a matter of physical survival and punishment. Starvation is not presented as an abstract threat; Kate describes it as something deliberately inflicted on vampires who break the rules. Combined with Sarai's need to understand what being a Half Kasst means, that detail suggests a supernatural world whose systems of control can be as dangerous as its individual monsters.
This novel should particularly interest readers who like vampire fiction in which bloodlines, hierarchy, and supernatural politics matter as much as attraction. Sarai's hidden ancestry gives the urban-fantasy side of the story a mystery to uncover, while the paranormal-romance elements place desire alongside danger rather than separating the two. The author's stated blend of African-inspired mythology and nontraditional vampires also makes The Half Kasst worth a closer look for readers interested in vampire lore that moves beyond familiar traditions.
Delilah Belvedere is a Kenyan-born, Washington, D.C.–based author and keynote speaker whose stories weave together mythology, sensuality, and power.

Drawn to the spaces where ancestral magic, forbidden desire, and hidden histories collide, Delilah creates worlds where passion is transformative, power is inherited, and destiny is written in blood. Through every story, she champions authenticity, body positivity, curiosity, and the courage to embrace one’s truest self. When she’s not writing, Delilah is exploring new cuisines, hosting backyard BBQs, or binge-watching her next favorite series.

Sarai's discovery turns the familiar question of becoming a vampire into something more complicated: she is recovering a lineage that existed long before she understood her place in it. That distinction gives The Half Kasst its strongest hook. Her enemies are not simply hunting a woman who has gained supernatural abilities; they are confronting the return of something history was supposed to have buried. For readers drawn to secret bloodlines, inherited magic, sensual paranormal worlds, and vampire hierarchies with old grievances still shaping the present, Sarai's awakening offers an enticing beginning.
