Relic of Blood: Book 4 - Trieste Family

The compound near Medellín is established — a valley in the cloud forest, an Inca temple at its heart, and a growing family of nuevo-vampires that did not exist two years ago. His oldest human ally, Peter Durham, has been turned. The pack is bigger, stronger, and considerably more complicated than Martin intended. And somewhere in his own genetic history, a secret is beginning to surface that he is not at all sure he wants to know.

Then José makes his position clear.

The Doyen of House Medellín is old-world vampire aristocracy — Vlach blood, ancient power, and the unshakeable conviction that Sofia, the wild woman who wandered into Martin's Colombia mission and changed everything, is his by right. He would like her back. He would like her back now. And he is not accustomed to being refused by anyone.

What follows is the kind of confrontation that only Martin Trieste could navigate — by which is meant that he navigates it through a combination of calculated provocation, tactical bluntness, and fourteen naked blood-covered hybrid vampires announcing themselves through the remains of a set of double doors. It is not elegant. It works.

But the price is real. Renee will not come home the same way she left. And the revelation about Martin's own bloodline — the thing that José's arrogance inadvertently triggers — will reshape everything Martin thought he understood about what he is and where he came from.

Relic of Blood is the fourth instalment in the Trieste Family Series — a vampire military and political saga narrated by Martin Trieste, reluctant patriarch, accidental revolutionary, and the last person in any room to understand why everyone keeps looking to him for answers.
