When Caroline "Caro" Clifford's Uncle Nigel is viciously
murdered near an archeological dig site in Bulgaria, she
drops everything to find out why it happened. On her
investigative quest, she meets Dr. Jude Barrett, a
biochemist who'd been corresponding with her uncle. When
Jude explains to Caro his research into immortality and
vampirism and her uncle's interest in the work, she scoffs
at the notion.
After receiving her uncle's belongings, Caro finds unusual
writings in his passport that turn out to be anagrams he
wrote just before he died. With Jude's help, she deciphers
cryptic clues that eventually lead to a hilltop monastery
in Greece. But the journey is fraught with blood and death
every step of the way. Then Caro discovers that a piece of
an ancient relic she inherited from her parents, along with
some pages of a centuries-old text, could reveal a dark
power set to destroy humanity. But Caro is in for even more
surprises about her ancestry as she and Jude strive to
complete their horrific journey. Will what they find
shatter the love that's grown between them?
With quite a twisted and complex take on vampire lore and
legends, ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT is the first in a
proposed series. It's a good thing, too, since the ending
leaves readers wondering about the resolution of the
Caro/Jude relationship. If you're a fan of unusual vampire
stories, this action-packed and fast-paced book will please
you immensely.
A woman's quest for the truth...A medieval icon that holds
the clues...And an ancient book with the power to shake
Christianity-and humanity itself.
London tour guide Caroline Clifford has never believe in
vampires- until her uncle is brutally murdered at a
Bulgarian archaeological site, and a vampire hunter who
corresponded with him seeks her out.
Strange anagrams on her uncle's passport lead them to a
cliff-top monastery in Greece, where a shattering revelation
connects a relic Caro inherited to an age-old text on
immortality-and an enigmatic prophecy that pits the forces
of darkness and light in a showdown that could destroy all
they know...
