Prince of Umberlight — Della Van Hise

Thorn may be an 800 year old vampire, but he does not possess the ability to create others of his kind, and so he is cursed to fall in love with mortals, only to watch them grow old and die. Torn by grief, Thorn denounces his immortality and enters into a comatose oblivion for decades. When he awakens, he is no longer in London, but finds himself in a world spun into being by his own desires - a world where Time and Death do not exist, a world where it is forever autumn, where the Parish of Shadows and the River of Stars become his home. It is in this world of Umberlight that he meets Atom - an interloper into his private sanctuary, but also an impudent imp who is destined to reveal to Thorn the three dangerous elements a vampire must possess in order to become a Creator. The Art of Brutality. Submission to Dark Desire. Love. But in Umberlight, nothing is as it seems. One reader said: "This is er*tica as the gods intended it!"Written in a poetic and literary style by a respected professional author. TALES OF UMBERLIGHT promises to be an exciting new series for fans of vampire er*tica, paranormal romance and just plain good story-telling. Prince of Umberlight is the first book in a series that will include several volumes, with each volume being part of the whole but each book also standing on its own. Story lines have been outlined for the next two books, with Book 2 scheduled to be completed and released in the fall/winter of 2016.
