Thrones of Blood by Nancy Kilpatrick 💕 Series Tour & Gift Card Giveaway 💕 (Vampire Romance)








Vampires and humans are at war!

Moarte, King of the Vampirii, is a prisoner of his Sapiens enemy. The beautiful Sapiens Princess Valada, believing that Moarte killed her mother, tortures him, even to the point of breaking the bones in his wings so he cannot escape. She intends to incinerate him to ash in sunlight, but Moarte escapes.

Moarte hungers for revenge. When, through an act of betrayal, Valada is captured by the vampirii, his first instinct is to drain her blood and annihilate her. But he realizes he can get revenge in other ways, using her as a tool to gain the upper hand in this conflict. But who is manipulating whom? Both want revenge, and control of the other, and Moarte wants to drink Valada's blood. Dark desires lead down a path neither had envisioned, a threatening spiral that can destroy empires.

Hunter and hunted change places again and again in this novel of twisted, violent passions. Seeds of deception are sown amidst love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, obsession and indifference, in an erotic tale of warring races, foes since the beginning of time, and two unlikely adversaries aligning to battle a common enemy.

“Nancy Kilpatrick infuses her vampires with the hot blood of life and erotic passion. Vampires have never had it so good.”
F. Paul Wilson
Author of the Repairman Jack series, The Keep, Midnight Mass

“Kilpatrick knows that great secret of horror stories: that they are intensely personal!”
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
Author of The Saint Germain series

"Nancy Kilpatrick's writing is both eloquent and erotic her stories seduce the reader through the mutual attraction of dread and desire."
Stephen Jones
Editor: Dark Terrors; Best New Horror series


  





Part human, part vampir, the beautiful, stubborn, angry young Princess Serene is a tormented hybrid, her days and nights controlled by her overprotective parents. When they suddenly insist on an arranged marriage, visions of a grim future in a loveless pairing with the cold and dominating Wolfsbane drive Princess Serene into a desperate escape.

But instead of freedom, the young naive Princess rushes headlong into the clutches of a human demon whose cruelty and violence threaten to destroy her and her world. The entire vampirii nation is helpless to rescue her, and war becomes a certainty. Rebellion will lead to many deaths, including those she loves. But to endure brutality until she can escape might be beyond her abilities.

Ultimately, Wolfsbane, her detested bridegroom, is the one holding the key to save her, if he can. And more, can she be saved?

"Nancy Kilpatrick inhabits that shadow land of sensuality between terror and pleasure; she can be creepy, seductive, bleak, exquisite and terrifying—often all at once. She knows the intricacies of human minds and bodies at war with themselves, and her stories bring you into those battles in ways that make you think you've actually been there because maybe you have."
—Thomas Roche, author of The Panama Laugh and editor of the Noirotica series

"Nancy Kilpatrick’s vampires have a distinctive bite all their own."
—Nancy A. Collins, author of Sunglasses After Dark and In the Blood

"Kilpatrick is the pony express of horror. She's fast and furious and she always delivers."
—Brian Lumley, author of the Necroscope series

“I loved Book 1 but I will admit that I loved Book 2 even more. The characters were comfortably familiar but the threat level has been escalated to nail-biting proportions. I devoured the book quickly; it was difficult to put down, but I am used to this when in the hands of a skilled author like Kilpatrick. She truly is a “vampire queen”: a real specialist at telling vampire tales in new and engaging ways.”

—Elaine Pascal, reviewer
The Horror Review


  




A conference between two species ends in disaster when Sapiens Queen Blanka and the Vampir King Thanatos are treacherously seized and imprisoned in a dungeon. War erupts as their jailers—an ancient vampir and a traitorous Sapiens usurper—each plot to reign over all of their own species. Desperate to end the conflict, the two prisoners escape. En route to his stronghold, Thanatos disappears. His vampir allies want to find him, but attack is imminent, making defense the priority. Blanka knows the odds are against her surviving an all-powerful, ancient being whose goal is destruction yet she is determined to rescue Thanatos. The question that tortures her is: does he still exist?

"Nancy Kilpatrick is an audacious and insane writer of vampire fiction. I wish a vamp would bite me so I could read her work forever!" - Nancy Holder, NYT Bestselling Author, Mary Shelley Presents; Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels

"Sit back and let Nancy Kilpatrick guide you through this tortured world of sex and passion, hunger and blood, damned souls and velvet nights." - Karen E. Taylor, author The Vampire Legacy series

Necros, the most rebellious of the vampir kings, has carried a burning hatred for the one who forced him into this undead existence centuries ago. Abused, betrayed, cheated, he trusts none of any species, especially Guin, a dethroned mortal queen who appears out of nowhere and feeds his paranoia, and his darkest fantasies. At best she attempts to control him, at worst she tries to kill him. For some reason he does not understand, Necros is compelled to let her live. But he believes she is manipulative, and a liar; Guin sees him as brutal, stubborn, impossible! Encounters turn ugly as violence, bitterness and haunting memories drive both of them. Guin has her own agendas, and the more she struggles to actualize them, the further away her goals recede. A few vampirii endeavor to build a bridge between the two combatants, but others with sinister plans are bent on hindering a truce. This downward-spiralling dynamic reels towards a dire conclusion that neither Necros nor Guin seem able to halt.

Savagery of the Rebel King—Vol 4 in the exciting Thrones of Blood series—is a fast-paced rollercoaster ride in a plot that twists and turns and threatens to spin out of control. Readers will be glued to their seats!


  



from Revenge of the Vampir King

"King Moarte," Wolfsbane said, "the Sapiens ruler offered you his daughter in marriage to save his Kingdom, to bind our realm to his, but really to save himself."
"Liar!" the black-haired mortal screamed through the bars where her wrists were bound on either side of her. "My father would never agree to such a deal. You're despicable, all of you vile, dead things!"
Her dark eyes shot a fiery malevolence towards Wolfsbane, and her teeth gnashed together twice as if she would bit through the wooden doweling and disembowel him. But Wolfsbane was not watching her. He, like everyone else in the room, was watching the King of the Vampirii.
Moarte rose dangerously slowly, like the predator he knew himself to be. A predator fixated on prey. His eyes were glued to the all-too-familiar face of the Sapiens Princess Valada.
Despite all the torture her father had ordered, she was the one who tried to murder Moarte. Ironically, her violence provided him with the intense motivation necessary to find a means to escape that realm and make his way home. It took nearly a moon's cycle to walk over the high mountain because he could not fly and his body was severely damaged. With little food but for the blood of the small earth-bound creatures he could catch, starvation kept him from recovering. He finally reached the vampirii stronghold near death, a state requiring many months to reverse.
And now, before him, was one of his two enemies; it was a dream come true.
