REVENGE AS COLD AS THE BLOOD OF THE UNDEAD... in the third volume of the legendary Czech urban fantasy series, Blue Blood!
The Blue Blood series captivated Czech readers long before Twilight came along. Against the backdrop of our present and the distant past, Daniela Mičanová has painted the colourful fates of her heroes and heroines, both mortal and undead. The complex stories of the series' characters begin to unravel in this third instalment. It turns out the trail leads to the sunny Mediterranean, a place where you wouldn't expect the darkness-loving children of the night to find much room for their unholy existence. But the opposite is true.
Creatures from the shadowsIn the turbulent times of the seventeenth century, a young Spanish man enters the narrative, his path crossing with the plans of a certain mysterious nobleman. Dark, magical knowledge attracts creatures that dwell in the shadows, scenting human blood. They can certainly get their fill of it in those troubled times, but it is not the only thing they desire. In the background, we can still sense an immensely powerful and utterly merciless being, whose interests were at the root of the protagonists' fate and who now thirsts for revenge. The past slowly flows into the present, and everything seems to indicate that the saga of our heroes, unfolding across centuries and distant lands, is approaching its climax in present-day Brno. Humans and vampires alike are exploring the boundaries of their relationships, only to cross them moments later. But the adventure doesn't end there. From a distance, it seems you can hear devilish violins... Maestro Jakub is slowly preparing to enter the stage. The nights are long, the days are gloomy, the boundaries between worlds are blurring, and history intertwines with the present. In the magical Advent season in Brno, things can happen that are both incredibly beautiful and incredibly terrifying.
When a fragile, disabled girl gets swept up in a story that began in Seville, Spain, shortly before the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, she has no idea just how close the main players are. And their hunger for blood and human closeness hasn't diminished one bit in three centuries. The third part of the Blue Blood vampire series summons an evil from the ghostly underworld that is darker than human imagination can conceive. The primogenitor of the undead neither forgives nor forgets; she cannot be stopped by an oaken stake or an advanced knowledge of black magic. Perhaps only a saint and a demon in one person could neutralise her.
