Vampire Elite is a new vampire series
The first two parts are released in one volume
Vampire Elite
Part 1. Prophecy
Part 2. Keepers of the Key
What will he do if saving his people means destroying the woman he loves?
A millennia-long war between two immortal races is about to come to an end. Long ago, the Vampire Elite began capturing the immortals called the Amiti, attracted by their unique blood properties. Now most Amiti live in underground cells, forced to serve as vampires’ bloodstock. The few surviving free Amiti, preparing a final strike, have declared their Queen a traitor. Her execution makes possible the rise of a new Queen, her young daughter Arianna, who will inherit her mother's mystical powers. Working with the Keepers of the Key, Arianna may be able to eliminate the vampires, once and for all, from the face of the earth.
The new Queen is the last hope to save her dying race
and she's ready to fight to the last drop of her blood.
But the King of the Vampires has other plans.
What neither expects
is the passion that erupts between them.
Vampire Elite is an epic story of a bitter conflict between two immortal races, and the effect of that conflict on everyone living in its grip. The characters are driven to love and betrayal, vengeance and sacrifice in a world without easy black-and-white answers.
Based on an ancient Egyptian legend, packed with action and intrigue, Vampire Elite will pull you into the entrancing world of immortals and open new portals into their hidden universe.
Meet VE Character: Tor, King of the Vampires
The vampire King is a revered leader and protector of his people, known among vampires and other immortals for his uncompromising nature and iron will. Tor has been in power for more than a thousand years and during that period has developed his race into one of the strongest among immortals. For Tor, the vampires’ security is his top priority, and he has never wavered in his pursuit of that goal—until he meets Arianna, the Amiti Queen. She unlocks his heart to feelings he had never thought he was capable of: Tor discovers real love for the first time. Now his deepest desire is to keep Arianna with him forever. But the young Queen is the most feared and powerful enemy of his race. Together with the Keepers of the Key, she holds the power to eliminate the vampires from the surface of the earth—and because that is ultimately the only guarantee of saving the Amiti, Tor must assume that she will take that step sooner or later. What will Tor do when his mind demands that to keep vampires safe the woman he loves must die—but his heart screams that he cannot live without her?
From the Authors
All of the Vampire Elite characters are a mixture of right and wrong, good and evil—and Tor is a classic example. It’s shocking that someone who has been adopting abandoned immortal children, giving them a loving home and raising them as his own, can at the same time commit this level of selective and willful blindness—of his eyes and his heart—to the sufferings his people are perpetrating on the entire Amiti race. Even after meeting and falling in love with Arianna, Tor remains stubborn. He continues to believe that the practice of capturing Amiti and keeping them as bloodstock is legitimate and is truly convinced that the vampire-Amiti conflict can’t be resolved. He justifies his point of view by rationalizing that allowing the Vampire Elite to feed on Amiti keeps humans safe and therefore protects the entire world of immortals from discovery and persecution by human.
Tor’s ability to find good reasons for following an evil path is something we humans do all the time. Immortals are the reflection of us. They come to life to speak their truth about us.
