Hello everyone!
I'm looking for a book I read maybe 25 years ago. It was about a very old vampire living in Austria/Germany that adopts a human child and raises her as his own during the 1930's. During one of Hitlers Brownshirts rallies she gets killed and the vampire takes revenge! It's a very interesting story and shows alot of what it was like during that time.
Any help would be appreciated.

Tempting Fate (1982), Chelsea Quinn Yarbro?
A summary: "Fleeing the chaos of Russia, Saint-Germain encounters an abandoned child with partial amnesia: Laisha becomes his ward. He and Roger take up residence at his Bavarian Schloss and with Laisha try to resume a normal life; he begins an affair with his neighbor, Gudrun, and attracts the animosity of her bigoted brother. In France, Madelaine de Montalia becomes involved with an American reporter, James Emmerson Tree, who is enthralled by her. When Laisha is killed by a group of Nazis, Saint-Germain takes vengeance upon them, then almost loses his life. Only Madelaine, with James' help, keeps him from the True Death."
If you like the history detail, you may be interested to know that it's part of a long-running series that sets the vampire in all sorts of different times and places.
