About this ebook
His method is characteristic: a classified US military operation in the Colombian jungle, fighting the cartels who have made the drug wars more savage than ever before. Officially, House Trieste is there to help General Durham. In reality, Martin is using live combat to drag his family's beasts out of the comfortable domestic rut they have settled into. Nothing reawakens a vampire like necessity. What he does not plan for is what is already watching them from the treeline.
She has no name. She does not speak. She is ancient in a way that even Claudia, the matriarch of House Trieste, finds difficult to quantify — and she has been following Martin's pack across the continents, drawn by something her instincts recognise and her intelligence cannot yet articulate. She is the last of the old-world vampires. Her beast knows Martin's beast. And the jungle that has sheltered her for centuries opens to welcome them both.
What unfolds across the forests of Africa and the highlands of Colombia will overturn everything the vampire world believed it knew about itself. Because when Shae kneels beside the ancient wild woman and looks up with wide eyes, the news she delivers is not a theory or a rumour. It is a fact that has not existed once in the entire recorded history of their species.

About the author
Born in and living in Australia, Mark joined the military upon completing high school. With an engineering degree, working on high-technology systems, Mark travelled the world while advancing his knowledge in science and engineering. Following a simple request from a friend to confirm the 'science' in a fictional military book, Mark realised he was well placed to develop his own first military fiction book in the style of Dale Brown.
Mark soon wondered what it would be like in a world where vampires are real. The Trieste Family follows this simple concept.
