“Blood of the Dragon” – by Antony J. Stanton, book #1 from the Blood of the Dragon series.
A reckless young Bulgarian lord struggling with guilt over his twin sister’s death, sees his mother brutally slaughtered by a vampire. Fearing that it hunts him and his sickly younger sister, he swears vengeance. But with a trail of brutal deaths ever getting closer, with his sister’s illness only getting worse, and with the threat of warfare against the Ottoman horde closing in, time is running out. Will he risk abandonment and accept the help of others? Will he fulfil his quest before Vlad Dracula demands his service in the Crusades? Will he learn how to defeat the beast before fate comes for him?

Author Bio
Antony J. Stanton was born in a Parisian slum in the 1700’s. He worked the docks at the port of Le Havre before an incident with a jealous ship-owner’s wife saw him hounded by hired thugs. If not for the intervention of a beguiling vampiress who, for her own dark reasons took a keen interest in Stanton, he’d no doubt have been lynched. In saving him, she turned him into a foul blood-sucker, and he soon found himself preying on those who would surely have seen him dead.

ARC Team
Every author relies on his readers. None of us, not even George R.R.Martin, Steven King or the great Mills and Boon, can exist and thrive without support. And it’s always nice for us authors to give something back. So, if you’re interested in being an invaluable part of the action, in truly helping shape the story, perhaps, even, in the chance to be featured in the story itself and receiving some nice goodies in return, then check out the ARC TEAM tab at the top.

A young Romani gypsy girl in medieval Transylvania has been trying to warn her clan about her ominous dreams and visions of impending doom. Having failed to save her mother from an earlier death, she overcomes her guilt and tries time and again to convince her father. But, as chief of the clan, he’s too proud to listen, too focussed on the dangers from both the Ottoman invaders, and even the soldiers of Transylvania themselves, who hate the Romani almost as much as they hate the Ottomans.
