Dark Roots
О овој е-књизи
When a solicitor approaches him on behalf of a client facing an unspecified vampire problem, he cannot turn away. But from the moment he steps into the imposing Thornhill Mansion, perched above the hallowed grounds of Highgate Cemetery West, reality itself begins to warp.
Harlan soon finds himself swept up in a cyclone of long-held secrets, ancient vendettas, ghostly whispers, and a looming resurrection that demands blood - in abundance.
As Harlan unravels the mysteries of Thornhill Mansion and its inhabitants, he unearths buried truths about his own lineage. The deeper he digs, the more he realizes: his fate is hopelessly entangled with the Thornhills’.
“Dark Roots" is the debut novel from Danish-British author Lucius Valiant. Sumptuously dark with a wry twist of humor, it’s the first spine-tingling installment in the Thornhill Vampire Chronicles.

О аутору
Lucius Valiant is a Danish-British author. He resides in a coastal town in the south of England with his husband and two eternally hungry guinea pigs.
Lucius grew up devouring the works of Anne Rice, Stephen King and Poppy Z. Brite, as well as classic Gothic Horror such as Frankenstein, Dracula and The Picture of Dorian Gray. All of these influences shine through like glittering dark fairy dust in his writing.
He draws much of his inspiration from Britain’s rich history, folklore and legends - from the tales of King Arthur to modern urban legends like the Enfield Poltergeist and the Highgate Vampire.
