About this book

Blood Tears is the first in a series of vampire adventures from the exciting new fantasy author Raven Dane – but these are no ordinary vampires!

Blood Tears is a gothic fantasy; a fast moving hybrid of dark romance, horror, sci-fi and historical fiction. Prepare to enter the Land of Secrets and Shadows and meet with the “Dark Kind”, an ancient race of beautiful, perpetually young creatures who prey on mankind and need blood to survive. Refreshingly original, Blood Tears has the unusual backdrop of World War II and spans three turbulent decades. The reader is led through the adventures of Prince Azrar, the warlord of the Dark Kind, as his realm comes under threat from humans and advancing technology. Prince Azrar is aided in his quest for survival by Khari, a human child, who has been abandoned by her own people due to her terrifying gift of ‘Knowing’.

"Intriguing and compelling…A must read" - Helen Hollick, author of Sea Witch and Harold the King

About the Author

Raven Dane has always loved the dark and gloomy world of vampire tales, but in Blood Tears she breathes fresh new life into a well worn genre. The fantastic character creations come alive in the reader’s mind, leaving them ‘thirsting’ for more. Blood Tears is not just for vampire lovers, but general literature lovers as a whole; readers who want a fun and exciting read that mixes elements of romantic, horror and historical fiction.

The fast growing popularity and wide-spread acclaim of Raven Dane’s debut nove lBlood Tears and now the sequal, Blood Lament has astounded and delighted the author. Even non-fantasy readers have been beguiled by her world, Raven says: “I have had many reviews; all are so positive and glowing. As a new author, is has been hard to take in, but very exciting!” Like many authors Raven Dane would love to see the vivid, very visual world she has created up on the big screen.
