Sinopsis

“A fast start to what promises to be an exciting, innovative fantasy series” from the World Fantasy Award–winning author of Night’s Master (Publishers Weekly).   In the hedonistic atmosphere of an eighteenth-century Venice Carnival, gaiety turns deadly when Furian Furiano happens upon a mask of Apollo floating in the murky waters of the canals. The mask hides a sinister art, and Furian finds himself trapped in a bizarre tangle of love, obsession, and evil, stumbling into a macabre society of murderers. The beautiful but elusive Eurydiche holds the key to these murders and leads him further into a labyrinth of black magic and ancient alchemy. Why do secrets from Furian’s past seem tied to the mysterious Eurydiche? In Tanith Lee’s brilliantly imagined world of violence and terror, Furian must find a way to survive and stem the obsession driving him toward his hidden destiny.

    When an ER doctor turns vampire, she is irresistibly drawn to her ruthless sire in this sexy horror series debut: a “fast, furious . . . squirm-inducing treat” (Publishers Weekly). 
     
    I’m no coward. But after my life turned into a horror movie, I take fear a lot more seriously. I finally became Dr. Carrie Ames just eight months ago. Then I was attacked in the hospital morgue by a vampire. So now I’m a vampire—with an unbreakable blood tie to the monster who sired me. 
     
    The tie works like an invisible leash, binding me to one of the most depraved vampires on earth. While he’s hell-bent on turning me into a soulless killer, his sworn enemy is determined to exterminate me. Things couldn’t get much worse—except that I’m achingly attracted to them both. 
     
    Drinking blood, living as an immortal demon and being a pawn between two warring vampire factions isn’t exactly how I’d imagined my future. But as my father used to say, the only way to conquer fear is to face it. So that’s what I’ll do. Fangs bared.
