Meredith Ann Pierce
The Darkangel, a vampire of astounding beauty and youth, can only summon his full power when he finds his 14th and final bride. But for Aeriel, whom he kidnaps to serve his brides, there is something about him--something beyond his obvious evil--that makes her want to save him rather than destroy him. The Darkangel--Pierce's first book, originally released in 1982--was an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, a New York Times Notable Children's Book, a Parent's Choice Award Superbook, and a Booklist Best Book of the Decade.

"This is on my shortlist of 5 favorite book series. It's beautifully written. The worldbuilding is fantastic! I love the mash-up of high fantasy, Dystopia, science fiction and goth. The heroine's character arc is wonderful, and the writer walks the fine line of the story feeling like a fairy tale yet also a deeply culturally relevant piece of science fiction. I have a love/hate relationship with the final ending of the series, but at the same time that is what makes it so memorable. "
