The third book in the thrilling, highly acclaimed Vampire Gene series, mixing horror, dark fantasy and a slice of science fiction, in a definitive new edition from Telos Publishing.

Deep in the bowels of Rhuddlan Castle, the ancient vampire Lilly waits, reflecting on the bizarre twists of fate that have brought her there.

Leaving behind her lover and maker Gabriele, Lilly treads a path between instinct and survival: always living in fear of paradox. Through a series of mysterious time portals, she samples as many ages as she does victims, railing against the forces of destiny to fight her way back to her own time.

From a veritable Garden of Eden, through Viking rape, pillage and massacre, via the Machiavellian salons of 16th Century Rome and violent 20th Century Stockholm nightclubs, she has learned the hard way what being a vampire really means.

Can Lilly now reconcile her love of Gabriele with the freedom she has enjoyed to love elsewhere?
