Born to a lowly station, rising through his talents with the hunt, a young boy grows to manhood amidst the mud and savagery of the medieval world...
Aleric, the Falconer, has been at war since the day he witnessed an atrocity committed against his mother, and it is in a distant outpost, far from his beloved homeland, that he faces a foreign enemy in a treacherous war.
But in an abandoned citadel on a cliff overlooking a distant sea, he will cross paths with a monstrous destiny that will change him forever.
THE PRIEST OF BLOOD is the first of the trilogy, The
Vampyricon. The two other books are
The Lady of Serpents and The Queen of Wolves.
Publisher's Weekly - Starred Review -- for The Priest
of Blood by Douglas Clegg:
"The stunning first volume of a new dark fantasy epic from Stoker-winner Clegg (Nightmare House) gives the iconic vampire a massive makeover and draws fresh possibilities from its most familiar aspects...This rich and
symbol-laden blend of myth and history makes intense reading while it lays a solid foundation for later books in the series."
