Order of the Dragon – Book One takes place in 15th century Europe, terrorized by brutal warfare, cursed with superstition, and divided by religion. Prince Vlad struggles to master his destiny and govern the fate of his homeland in such times. As a younger son raised in royal courts, Vlad lingers in the shadow of others. Until, at the side of the capricious Luxembourg king of Hungary, Sigismund, Vlad gains a knighthood and a new sobriquet-Dracul, meaning the dragon or the devil. His family, friends, lovers, and enemies know him as both. In a journey from the land of his birth to the decadent and dangerous royal court at Buda Castle, across Europe's oldest medieval cities and fields of carnage, Vlad Dracul must survive the path to power. A bloody road mired in warfare and savagery, littered with more than the corpses of his Turkish enemies. Strange creatures haunt his imagination and his battlefield encounters. Deceit and betrayal dictate the course of old friendships and holy alliances. Discover the sacrifices Vlad Dracul makes in pursuit of his goal; the preservation of his family and Christendom's borders. Read Order of the Dragon – Book One, the first in a series of novels about the real Dracula family, the House of Basarab.

"Every decision comes with consequences, even for a new vampire. Leslie Love thought she'd simply sail back to the life she once knew as a romance writer, after her being turned into a vampire. She's dropped in the supernatural tidal wave and can't swim: Alistair, her sire and fated mate, is missing; the Greek god, Poseidon, has threatened to flood New York City if she doesn't return his stolen Trident to him; and, a powerful dragon from beyond has decided today's the day to start the apocalypse, he only needs her help. Blech. The stakes are sharp and high. It's either kill or be killed. And this time, the dead won't rise. Readers who enjoy magic and mayhem with a heroine in her mid-thirties, as well as slow-burn romance and supernatural mysteries, will enjoy this thrilling and adventurous series.
