About this ebook
From the USA Today bestselling fantasy author of the House of Crimson & Clover novels comes a chilling new historical fantasy series, Vampires of the Merovingi. Ancient lore, a vidid historical backdrop, and elusive, tantalizing mythical creatures await readers as they dive into the secretive, ancient, powerful world of The Saga of Crimson & Clover.
1789. Saint-Domingue. Hispaniola. West Indies. Etienne de Blanchefort has seen incredible success as a colonial planter in the Northern Province of Saint-Domingue. Though uprooting his family from France a decade past was a gamble, life in the tropical West Indies has been good to him, his wife, and four children. With France embroiled in their great revolution across the Atlantic, he harbors little doubt he made the right decision for his family’s future. Until, that is, the arrival of his fiend. Etienne’s practical nature cannot reconcile what he knows to be true of his world with what he cannot ignore about the abominable creature haunting his family and the island. Nor can he ignore his wife’s terrifying dreams that slowly steal her vitality. Or Victorine’s burgeoning free spirit and wariness of their way of life. Or Nanette’s curious, furtive behavior as she hides in trees. Or Marius’ secret new friendship with one he cannot name. Or Flosine’s unsettling drawings of a man from a time long before theirs. Etienne’s fiend will not stay elusive for long. He has a request. A very particular, very important request, one that will change the lives of Etienne, his family, and his descendants forever.
The Saga of Crimson & Clover:A sprawling dynasty. An ancient bloodline. A world of magic and mayhem.

The Island: Vampires of the Merovingi is an amazing book. I love the detail. I can see what Etienne sees, feel what he feels, and even smell the scents from around him. I am captivated by Etienne's battle with his fiend, along with his internal struggle. I could not put this one down.
