Claudia Richelieu: The Chimera Agent

Claudia Richelieu has spent years preparing to become one of Haven's elite Chimera operatives. But when a human college student is beaten for wearing a Chimera costume, she's thrust into her first undercover mission—posing as a regular university student. It should be simple: investigate the attack and gather intel. Instead, she uncovers a conspiracy that reaches deep into vampire society itself.

Claudia Richelieu has it all—wealth, status, and a coveted position as a Chimera Operative in Haven, the secret vampire city. But when she uncovers evidence implicating her own high house in attacks on humans, her world shatters. Now targeted by assassins and exiled from her home, Claudia must navigate a web of betrayal and political intrigue. Her only allies? A gruff mentor and a rival agent she can't help but be drawn to.

As a Chimera Operative, Claudia Richelieu is used to working in the shadows of Haven, the walled vampire city she calls home. When mysterious disappearances plague a small mountain town, she's sent to investigate what appears to be an anti-vampire cult.

Tasked with retrieving a kidnapped diplomat, Claudia expects nothing more than another mission for Haven's supernatural police force. In New York's underbelly, she discovers a network of false Chimera suits and vampire-targeting drugs that threatens to shatter the fragile peace between humans and vampires. Her only ally is Sabine Moros, a mysterious vampire whose silver-streaked hair and ancient eyes hint at blood-soaked secrets that could either save Haven—or destroy it.

As a Chimera agent for Haven's most powerful arbiter, Claudia Richelieu is used to dangerous missions. Her training to become a legendary Shadow Bane draws unwanted attention, changing everything. A simple assignment in Los Angeles turns deadly when a charismatic vampire actor reveals his true colors. Claudia is caught in a web of deception where ancient feuds between the Shadow Banes and a mysterious group called the Nightshades threaten everything she holds dear.

Claudia Richelieu lives a double life. Shadow Bane trainee by day, Chimera operative by night. Her mission to protect Haven's citizens keeps her busy—until her mentor Sabine Moros vanishes. Defying a direct order from Haven's ruler to mount a rescue mission, her search leads her to Scotland, where she uncovers a deadly conspiracy between two rival groups—the Shadow Banes and the Nightshades.
