After a long absence from court, Vampire Slayer Rosalind Llewellen receives a summons to return to court to assist in protecting the King from Vampire threats. Rosalind is not looking forward to seeing her betrothed, Christopher Ellis, especially since he has not made one attempt to contact her during her absence. To Rosalind's dismay, the King is surrounded by Vampires striving to take over the throne, leaving Rosalind to risk her life many times to find a way to keep the King safe. Rosalind must sacrifice her feelings for Christopher as his relationship with the King's mistress becomes important. Christopher Ellis' need for Rosalind Llewellen is frustrating and even after a year without seeing her, his feelings are just as strong as before she left. Unfortunately, his allies and friends don't like Christopher's betrothal to Rosalind, considering it a betrayal to his kind, but everyone in power to change it refuses to petition the King. Christopher and Rosalind put their relationship to the test as he uses his connections with the King's mistress to gain information on the Vampire plot. Christopher can only hope he can stay alive long enough to see where his future is going. BLOOD OF THE ROSE, the 2nd book in the Tudor Vampire Chronicles, is passionate and fresh with a unique twist on European history and creatively new Vampire lore. A not-to- be-missed read.
