In Victorian England, two young men cross paths in a public house. Maurice Fitzpons, disgraced army officer and semi-professional rake, is in between careers. Seth Keane is sick of his life as a shoemaker's apprentice and at war with a malignant stepfather. Both men are on the prowl. A chance meeting becomes a carnal night, and then a love.
But a stealthy horror glides along London's somber streets, a fiend that stalks fresh blood. A single bite can cause an ecstasy so great it will reduce a man's soul to ashes, yet make him cry for more.
This is a tale of three vampires. One lusts for men. The second desires knowledge. The third demands power--and slaves. Maurice and Seth find themselves targets, and to outwit these monsters, they must learn the shocking and unwholesome lore of the supernatural.
Of Love and Vampires is the first volume in the Wound of the Rose Trilogy, a gay romance and paranormal adventure series.
