Dust After Death Book I: Manor of the Mage

A beautifully written, classic vampire tale with a modern twist. Suspenseful and action-packed

When an alcoholic archaeologist removes a scythe from the chest of an unusually well preserved plague victim, he unknowingly awakens a tyrannous ancient vampire.

Halfway across the world, a long-dormant bloodline curse is simultaneously revived in college freshman Sofia Kennigen, a direct descendant of the old vampire's mortal queen.

Sofia is dragged against her will into a paranormal world where she doesn't know who to trust, and every choice she makes could have huge ramifications for mankind and vampirekind alike.
