BLURB:
As the dust settles from the destruction of the Bloodstone
Heart, a small scroll that had been hidden in the hearth of the altar room for
hundreds of years, reveals a prophecy that seems to be about the Larsen family.
While the group tries to unravel the riddles of the prophecy they also start to
notice they've acquired some interesting new powers from the Bloodstone itself,
some of which are going to take some getting use to.
Darby and Devon head to Ireland to set up house and get ready
for their impending nuptials when Darby is asked to help cure the Summer Queen
of the Everworld or the delicate balance of power between the Seelie and
Unseelie courts will topple throwing the planet into a deadly ice age. While at
home, things take a turn for the worse when there's a tragic airplane crash,
the Larsen vampires start dropping like flies, Bernard goes missing, and all
the bad deeds dealt seem to point towards one person - the Dark Angel.
What's so important about the altar room? Why are people dying
in the name of this prophecy? Will the Larsen's survive these new tragedies?
These questions and other deep seated secrets will be revealed in this final
installment of the Blood Series.
EXCERPT:
The rest of the group had
started to stir when Bernard poked his head into the dining room and asked Josh
to join him. Josh got up and headed for the door, holding onto Melanie’s hand
and pulling her behind him.
“What’s up, Bernard?”
“Well, I called Dr. Rowe
here to check on your hand. I felt with
such a bad cut, he should take a look at it,” Bernard said.
“You shouldn’t have,
Bernard. It doesn’t hurt a bit,” Josh said.
“You should have it looked
at, Josh. It looked like it was bleeding pretty badly before you took a
shower,” Melanie urged.
“Fine. But I’m telling you
it’s fine,” Josh argued.
Bernard walked Josh and
Melanie into a room at the other end of the house, where Dr. Rowe was unpacking
something from his bag.
“Ah, Mr. Brenner and the
lovely Ms. Harper. How are you both?” Dr. Rowe inquired.
Melanie said, “Very well,
Dr. Rowe. Thank you for coming.”
“So, Josh. I hear you had
a run in with a nasty jar,” Dr. Rowe joked.
“It’s not a big deal,”
Josh said.
“Are you kidding? He
crushed it and the lid,” Bernard interjected.
“I’m sure the jar just had
a flaw in it and I grabbed it at that fragile spot,” Josh argued.
“Well, let’s see how deep
it is. I’m sure Bernard cleaned it well. He’s been patching you all up so much
lately that he’s practically an MD himself,” Dr. Rowe said with a chuckle.
Josh held out his bandaged
hand to the doctor. The bandages were red all the way through. Dr. Rowe
carefully unwrapped his hand. “Hmm,” he said, looking at Melanie. “If I didn’t
know better, I’d say you were a vampire and healing yourself quite quickly.”
Bernard stepped forward as
Melanie and Josh both looked at the unbandaged hand. There were two red lines across his palm, one
about an inch across and the other about a quarter inch, but the wounds looked
two weeks old and almost completely healed.
Bernard stuttered,
“But...but...this morning...”
Dr. Rowe looked from
Bernard to Josh then said, “Been biting vampires lately?”
“Uh, no,” Josh said.
“Well...I don’t know what
to say, you certainly don’t need my services. It looks fine. No infection. At
this rate, by tomorrow you won’t know you had a cut at all. Quite remarkable
for a human. The only explanation I can come up with is that you were in contact
with a ‘healer,’” Dr. Rowe said.
