Synopsis

British scholar Frank Carew is in Wallachia to study the magic generator on nobleman Radu Vacarescu’s land. There, his party is attacked by bandits and his friends are killed. Pursued by a vampiric figure, he flees to Radu’s castle for help.

Unfortunately, this is precisely where the vampires came from. If allowed, they would feed unchecked and spread their undeath across the whole Earth, but Radu maintains a shaky control over them and keeps them penned in his tiny corner of the country.

As Frank recovers from his assault, Radu finds himself falling for the young man. But loving Frank and not wanting to lose him leaves Radu vulnerable to his demons’ demands. Can he bear to let them feed on the man he loves? Or must he give in to their blackmail and set them free to feast on his entire country?

Now available at Riptide.

Meet Alex Beecroft

Alex Beecroft is an English author best known for historical fiction, notably Age of Sail, featuring gay characters and romantic storylines. Her novels and shorter works include paranormal, fantasy, and contemporary fiction.

Beecroft won Linden Bay Romance’s (now Samhain Publishing) Starlight Writing Competition in 2007 with her first novel, Captain’s Surrender, making it her first published book. On the subject of writing gay romance, Beecroft has appeared in the Charleston City Paper, LA Weekly, the New Haven Advocate, the Baltimore City Paper, and The Other Paper. She is a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association of the UK and an occasional reviewer for the blog Speak Its Name, which highlights historical gay fiction.

Alex was born in Northern Ireland during the Troubles and grew up in the wild countryside of the English Peak District. She lives with her husband and two children in a little village near Cambridge and tries to avoid being mistaken for a tourist.

Alex is only intermittently present in the real world. She has led a Saxon shield wall into battle, toiled as a Georgian kitchen maid, and recently taken up an 800-year-old form of English folk dance, but she still hasn’t learned to operate a mobile phone.

She is represented by Louise Fury of the L. Perkins Literary Agency.

      Thanks Susana! This is a return to a similar kind of genre as the Under the Hill books, if you know them. I can't wait to find out what people think :)

      Thank you! There's some Atlantean magic tossed in there too, just to keep it from being too dark.

    Wow, Alex! This sounds so good. I love vampire stories and I don't think I've ever read one penned by you. Congratulations and much success!

      Thank you! I think of this as being a sort of classic vampire story, in the sense that I'm trying to go back to the roots of 'would you really want a reanimated corpse to drink your blood?' I got increasingly fed up with the idea that there was something sexy about that, so in this book they're back to being monsters. There's also my usual eclectic mix of flying machines, magic and culture shock, just so it doesn't get too dark. I hope you like it!

      Thank you! Yes, I enjoyed being in charge of an 18th Century gentleman on his Grand Tour in this one, and in the next one I get to visit the Ottoman Empire, so that's exciting :)
