Blood Tears

By Raven Dane

Creide Press is delighted to republish Raven Dane's dark fantasy trilogy known collectively as The Legacy of The Dark Kind. The trilogy is an exciting cross over genre consisting of dark fantasy, alternative history and even a hint of science fiction. From the first novel, Blood Tears, it has gained an enthusiastic following and inspired artwork, music and even tattoos from its readers.

It is not a paranormal romance series, the Dark Kind do not sparkle They are not human or supernatural beings but of a species higher up the food chain than humans. They have no interest in emotional contact with humans which would be considered bestiality to them. Their long life span is a result of their unique biology. Sunlight does not kill them but will permanently blind them. Once much of the known world was ruled by Dark Kind kings and queens, protecting their human subjects from invasions by raiders or barbarian armies. As mankind evolved and multiplied, one by one, the Dark Kind ruled lands were lost, leaving their few survivors to find a way to adapt in the new order of human domination. By the 20th century only one Dark Kind noble exists, Prince Azrar, warlord ruler of Isolann, a remote land ringed by vast black granite mountains in the Upper Balkans. Created to protect his subjects, can Azrar hold back the advances of human society as the 20th century gets closer to his secretive domain?

Raven Dane is a UK based author of dark fantasy, award winning steampunk, horror, alternative fiction and science fiction. She has twice been listed as one of the top female writers in horror and is in demand for her horror short stories

Customer Reviews

Truly Excellent!

So often reviews do not live up to their rating. Blood Tears is truly excellent! Events take place in Europe during WWII and just prior. The action flows from Eastern European mountain ranges to England, to the heart of the Nazi war machine. Superstition, prejudice, obsession, love, honor, loyalty, the tragedy and horrors of the war itself. Psychics, dark kind (vampires), empaths, do these beings really exist? Are there humans with paranormal abilities? In Raven Dane's alternate reality there are. Read and enjoy!

I'm in love with her writing

It's a rich and unforgettable tale of dazzling scenes and vivid personalities. I have read many Vampire stories, never thought I'd be this surprised...

Vampires and much more...

I loved this book. It is a different kind of Vampire story. The time and places and descriptions are wonderful. You feel you are experiencing them as you read. The character and courage of each individual keeps you captivated till the end. I can't wait for the next book.

excellant

i like new writers that are not boring and i have to say that tony o reilly had me beleiving in his writing and with his first published book i hope that he writes another as he has my vote as a best new comer.

Am I normal? I've fallen for a vampire!

This book is so different to the normal (yawn) vampire stories, you know, garlic and crucifix.... these vampires - or Dark Kind - to give their real name - are so believable! They kill to survive, but then so does a tiger or a cat or a wolf .... and they have a code of honour and ... oh Azrar is wonderful and Jazriel... what can I say??? Swoon.....! I can't believe this story was made up. I totally believe vamps really did help us humans in the war! Is there going to be another novel about the Dark Kind? The author says yes. Oh good!!!!!!!
