A future built by the survivors of a pandemic.
In a post-apocalyptic world twenty years after a pandemic wiped
out a third of the population, data analyst Jackie Fournier
searches for the location where the disease first appeared. The job
has personal meaning for her; the pandemic killed her little
sister.
A country ruled by a dictator.
When certain factions in the government find out what Jackie's
been hired to do, they send assassin Nash Kerns to stop her. If she
doesn't stop digging when the project is shut down, he has orders
to kill.
A band of vampires with old souls.
The vampires only turn people with old souls, people like
Jackie. Vampire Morgan wants to turn her so he can gain freedom
from his sire, and he's not above using force.
There's another vampire, one with love and romance on his mind.
But before that vampire, Trehern, can bring her into his world, he
has to eliminate the threats from the assassin who wants to kill
her and the vampire who continues to attack her.
A virus that kills vampires.
Then vampires start dying from a disease that looks eerily like
the one from the pandemic. More than that--vampires died during the
pandemic itself. Even though no other disease can touch them.
Vampires. Viruses. AIs. Oh, my.
Jackie must stay one step ahead of danger while tracking down
not just the source of the pandemic twenty years ago, but the
reason the vampires have started dying now. Can she unravel the
mysteries before she runs out of time?
Does Jackie want to be a vampire? Will she have a choice?
A Note From the Author
When I started this series, I had read and enjoyed many vampire
books and stories. But I didn't considering writing vampire fiction
until I was struck by this idea: if vampires exist now, shouldn't
they also exist in the future? I joined that with my interest in
pandemics, spurred on by my discovery that my great-grandfather
died in the flu pandemic in 1918, and Legacy of Blood was born.
In these novels--this one and later books in the series--the
disease is spread through blood, making every vampire vulnerable.
Post apocalypse, the vampires have had to sequester themselves to
make sure their blood supply is secure. Though the vampires are
hidden from the public at large, they still have enemies and need
to protect themselves.
If you enjoy reading urban fantasy or science fiction thrillers
(with some romance thrown in), you might enjoy this book. I
certainly enjoyed writing it. The sequel is in the works.
