Female FBI Agent whose reflection in a window is a vampire

The Curse of the Unholy Grail

When a cursed relic surfaces promising to crown an emperor of the undead, it awakens the dormant lineage of FBI agent Nikki Lange. Only she, a newly made dhampir, can destroy the Unholy Grail.

But does saving all humanity require her to give up her own?

In her career, Special Agent Lange has seen murdered bodies before, but never has one opened its eyes and glared at her hatefully. Plunging into a supernatural world she’s unprepared for, she must now make sense of her dhampiric gifts to race to find and destroy the Grail as vampire emissaries across the globe gather to see their new emperor crowned. And there are more wicked things out there with stakes in the Apocalypse.
