"DeWees is a Gothic voice for the modern age, where women are not hapless but heroic." -Leanna Renee Hieber, award-winning author of Strangely Beautiful and The Spectral City In the late nineteenth century, a vampire did not always take the form of a nightmarish ghoul. Rather, it might come in the guise of a pleasure-loving woman of independent means, an enigmatic aristocrat, or even a woman afire with righteous wrath. Enter the world of the Victorian Vampires series, where award-winning author Amanda DeWees takes you on a journey rife with mystery, romance, and the unexpected. Here, for the first time, all three novellas in the series are gathered together in one volume. As Vital as Blood When poor but plucky Englishwoman Michael Cargrave travels to the Carpathian Mountains to catalogue the library of a mysterious baron, she stumbles into danger and romance. As Strong as Earth Vivacious vampire Bianca leads a carefree existence until she falls in love with Ned Alter, a mortal man who is already engaged-and whose family are vampire hunters. As Fierce as Flame Impetuous Rosamond Cargrave rebels against the proper path for a young lady, unaware that the legendary vampire Wulfgar is gathering all his kindred in London-and one of them is particularly close to Rosamond. Once you've read one, you won't want to miss a single volume in the Victorian Vampires series!
