Adrian

The ocean at night holds many secrets. But it will part with one, thus beginning an extraordinary adventure for Sir Sidney Chesswell...

A quiet county in Southern England, during the Regency period – not where one would expect to find such creatures as vampires. Or red-hot passions that will rip your heart from your body and set fire to your desires! But it is indeed where a surprise walk in the moonlight presents Sir Sidney Chesswell with a conundrum that he finds himself desperate to solve.

For the creature that has washed up at his feet, an offer of help seems too good to be true, but Sir Sidney sees not a monster, but a man in dire need. Adrian discovers that kindness still exists for one of his kind, and a bond is forged between the men. It is strong enough that when young Katherine Byerly is thrust into their lives, through no fault of her own, Sir Sidney watches with delight as Adrian finds himself becoming entranced. It is a strangely beguiling time for all of the residents at Chesswell Chyne, but underlying everything is the constant threat that created Adrian in the first place, and now that threat extends to them all, including Katherine.

A vicious and powerful vampire hunts them all. One who will not be satisfied until blood has spilled; her name is Thérèse...
