The Vampire Tales: Seven Immortal Stories of Power, Tragedy, and the Origins of Saunmoor Kindle Edition

The Vampire Tales reveals the mortal origins and immortal transformations of seven key figures from the world of Saunmoor, first introduced in Emelyn Morley and the Waking Dark. Within these pages lie not only stories, but a treasury of artwork, myth, and the secret history of a dark empire.From the frozen wilds of ancient Siberia to the candlelit streets of eighteenth-century London, these fables explore power, passion, and the eternal price of desire. Meet Afaine Faine, the star-eyed acrobat hunted by Puritans; Morion, the jaded Byzantine prince; Vaela, the imprisoned noblewoman; Simeon, the Catalan clockmaker’s son; Vorsadat, the poet of Ruthenia; the venerable Tredavius, relic-hunting Siberian trader; and Pazoa, the Persian queen who forged her legend in blood.Culminating in “The Girl, the Prince, and the Vampire,” where young Emelyn Morley glimpses the haunted realm of Saunmoor itself, The Vampire Tales stands as both prequel and myth—a gothic anthology of human hearts tested by immortality.For readers of Anne Rice, Susanna Clarke, and Neil Gaiman—a dark tapestry of history, horror, and beauty.Darkness is shaped by light.
