Two decades strong, the Saint-Germain cycle is one of the
most compelling works of dark fantasy and horror of our
age. Historically accurate, these deeply emotional novels
have a devoted readership.
In Burning Shadows, Yarbro looks
at the legendary Huns from the perspective of the people who
faced the brunt of their attacks. The vampire Saint-Germain
seeks sanctuary at an isolated monastery, unwilling to
abandon the hundreds of terrified villagers he has led in
flight from the Huns. A few Roman soldiers and some village
Watchmen are the monastery’s defense force—and they are
undermined by the religious fervor of some of the monks, who
argue that since everyone’s fate is in God’s hands, it is
foolish to defend themselves. In the hothouse atmosphere of
the high-walled monastery, Saint-Germain must take special
care when slaking his vampire thirst, for discovery of his
True Nature will result in his True Death.
