Blood Brothers

by Steven Barnes

Overview

Three hundred years ago, a slave sorcerer bought his freedom by showing his master how he could live forever—by using the sacrificial deaths of his own children as a channel to absorb the life essence of others. Now in 1990's Los Angeles, two men have seen their daughters consumed by a sorcerous flame and discover that together they have the skills to confront the evil ancestors who have preyed on their family for centuries. BLOOD BROTHERS weaves fantasy and magic into a deftly told tale of American race relations and history.
