Following their war against the Deargh Du, the Lamia have refocused their efforts toward controlling the Church of Rome, using it as a tool for amassing greater power and wealth. In Eire, fissures have formed in Deargh Du society, threatening to break apart the once firm foundation of the Balance. In the midst of these events, a new menace threatens the Balance within the Holy Roman Empire as vicious murders of both mortals and blood-drinkers spread throughout the empire like wildfire. Can a hastily formed alliance between archenemies thwart this new menace, or will festering hatred bring about the empire's doom? Continue the journey... the third in a series of stories revolving around the Deargh Du through the ages.

Ever wonder about the source of mythology and folktales? Ever ask yourself whether events recorded in history actually happened as events are portrayed in the texts? Do you sense something, right now, standing in the dark shadows behind you, deciding whether your blood would make a nice repast before a long flight? What if those old tales about beings that consume the life essences of mortals were true? What then? Perhaps history did not happen as was written, and perhaps you are about to become someone's dinner. The novels of the Morrigan's Brood Series tell a continuing tale of lines of blood-drinkers, who throughout history, steer the events of the mortal realm from night's sweat embrace. Come, join the journey with the blood-drinker races, such as the Lamia from Greece, the Sugnwr Gwaed from Britain, the Deargh Du from Ireland, and many others. Come, discover the true source of the vampire myth. Come, learn the secret of why history came to be. Come, do not fear the shadow behind you, because you are lucky that it is only a Deargh Du, and they don't kill their victims... usually. Enjoy
