BLURB   

Can
the ultimate choice be made if saving your race means destroying the one you
love?

At
the beginning of the twenty-first century of our era a millennia long war
between two immortal races was coming to an end. The Vampire Elite, the
strongest among vampires, forced the race of immortal beings, the Amiti to
become their blood suppliers, called bloodstock, locking them in their
underground cells and treating them like livestock. The surviving free Amiti
make a final attempt to strike back. The Queen of Amiti is proclaimed a traitor
and is executed. Her death signifies the rise of a new Queen, her young
daughter Arianna who becomes the last hope of her dying race. Arianna totally
embraces her mission and is ready to fight for her people to the last drop of
her blood but encounters an unexpected challenge—the vampire King Tor. They
both are captured into a trap of love where they had to make an ultimate
choice; to kill the loved one or to let their races die.

Vampire
Elite is the epic story of a bitter conflict between two peoples, 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.

EXCERPT             

As
the auctioneer spoke, two Sekhmi in eveningwear—a male carrying an elegant
dagger and a female a silver tray covered with glass vials—approached the Amiti
girl.

“She’s
barely eighteen, ladies and gentlemen. That’s a good three years younger than
the youngest bloodstock you’ll usually come across. Look at her; she’s
stunning, simply stunning, and as you can see, we’ve kept her well conditioned,
in excellent health.”

The
auctioneer paused as the male Hunter grasped the Amiti’s hand and held it above
the tray. The girl showed no resistance, her only display of anxiety the
butterfly fluttering of her thick eyelashes. He raised his other hand, and the
dagger flashed in the light as with a swift motion he slit the Amiti’s palm. The
dark, intoxicating scent of fresh blood filled the room as it poured into the
vials.

Simone’s
gums began to itch and burn, and she covered her mouth with her hand so no one
would see her fangs punching down. It was considered terribly rude to expose
one’s fangs in public, even among other vampires. But she needn’t have worried;
everyone’s attention was riveted to the stage and the blood flowing from the
girl’s wound. The room vibrated with bloodlust and sexual arousal.

The
female Sekhmi approached Simone’s table, offering the Royal Pride the first of
the blood samples. Knowing that all eyes were on her, Simone forced herself not
to hesitate and took a small sip—and was immediately flooded with euphoria.

“For
this magnificent specimen, we open the bidding at ten million U.S. dollars,”
announced the auctioneer.
