Synopsis "Bloodbound: Quincey Morris and the Hunt for Dracula"
A man’s mystical destiny. A monster’s unholy desire. A woman’s forbidden love. "Bloodbound is a visceral book filled with tension, emotion, and authority. A fascinating read channeling the best elements of The Hunger, Lone Women, and of course, Dracula. I couldn't put it down."—Richard Thomas, Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson finalist, author of Incarnate A descendant of both African slaves and Celtic Warriors, Quincey Morris was marked at birth as belonging to both the world of men and the realm of spirits. Raised on the brutal Texas frontier, and trained in the ancient ways of magic by his Apache shaman godmother, he is the heir of many bloodlines. Now he travels the world with a Colt "Peacemaker" on his hip and a fated Bowie knife on his belt, destined to hunt the nameless evils that dwell in the dark. When Quincey’s path takes him to Victorian London, he is asked to join a desperate hunt for the greatest evil he has ever known: Count Dracula. Though his aristocratic companions may view his mixed heritage as a weakness, only Quincey possesses the spiritual sight to see the vampire for what he truly is—not just a beast, but a formidable conqueror who has survived for centuries. Amidst doubt and danger, Quincey finds an unexpected soulmate in Mina Harker, a woman of fierce intelligence and a spirit that refuses to be tamed. Though she is married, they are soon bound by a love that defies the rules of Victorian society. When Dracula attacks Mina, Quincey must lead the vampire hunters through Europe in a race against time to save the love of his life from eternal night. From the sun-scorched Texas plains to the snow-covered Transylvanian Alps, Bloodbound is the untold story of Quincey Morris, the true hero of the world's greatest horror legend. “I loved the fresh, distinctive American perspective Bloodbound brings to the story of Dracula. It dances very elegantly with Bram Stoker’s original work as it brilliantly fleshes out the character of Quincey Morris. I greatly enjoyed this novel.”—J.S. Barnes, critically acclaimed author of Dracula’s Child, The City of Dr. Moreau, and Frankenstein’s Monster Proudly represented by Crystal Lake Publishing—Where Stories Come Alive!
