The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Frightened Melisande Daviodvich hid behind the walls of Wolfram Castle, a virtual prisoner of her fears. For two years she found sanctuary there, but now the howling has begun. Melisande knows this is an omen that her safety will soon be no more.



Count Kazimir Vasilov and Count Gavril Sevasjan arrive insisting her father the thief stole a legendary chalice that contains the elixir to cure an enigmatic illness. They demand she hand it over to her, but she believes her father when he insists he never took this priceless artifact. At least initially she accepts her dad's word, but as she finds herself attracted to the strange Kazimir and him to her, Melisande begins to doubt her relative as she starts to look deeper into Wolfram werewolf rumors. The danger towards her suddenly mounts, but she wonders by whom.

Leaving a blemished reputation behind in England, Elizabeth travels to Germany to take a post as governess in Wolfram Castle. Her bold nature and insatiable curiosity have led to her downfall, and she's determined not to repeat her mistakes. However, it's soon evident that disturbing emotional torrents run deep in the Wolfram family, and whispers of magic and werewolves make her vow to temper her curiosity difficult, while the way the enigmatic lord of the castle challenges her spirit and quickens her pulse makes controlling her audacious streak impossible. Simpson's latest is a treat for lovers of gothic romance and a welcome offering for readers looking for European adventures beyond the British Isles. There's a natural progression here from the traditional gothic of eerie occurrences with rational explanations to a true paranormal twist, and Simpson keeps the sultry sensuality at a strong simmer.
