He had never believed in the supernatural, but, when a vampire killer masquerading as a clergyman begins haunting his dreams, forcing him to endure visions of the murders of his previous female conquests, Nathan determines to amend his frivolous ways.

As they battle the monster, Nathan and Juliet gradually realize that they share a psychic connection. This close bond triggers the discovery of their true heritage as descendants of human-vampire unions. Led to the gradual revealing of powers beyond their imagination, their bond offers them hope of victory.

The plot itself was action packed, it had plenty of tense moments and once I started reading it I had trouble putting it down until I knew what had happened. The story also had a touch of horror to it, the villain was truly vile which was particularly demonstrated in the beginning scene which I warn you is not for the faint of heart! The writing was great as well the slightly formal wording transported you straight into the time and place, the way that Nathan thought and all the characters spoke seemed very accurate to the time and not just a contemporary story in historical packaging.

Knight of Swords Excerpt
Our horses thundered along in the blue and grey tinged haze that haunted the beach’s flat white surface as night began to close in. As we neared the middle of the beach we emerged from the veil of mist like dark ethereal phantoms. I felt sand spray against my face as my horse kicked up the fine grains between its hooves. My exhilaration was at its height. I felt sure of glory.
The tide was out a fair distance away and did not prove a hindrance. Up ahead I saw a hearse descend a wooden ramp that led on to the beach from a small gulley between the dunes. The coachman wore funeral garb and served as a frightening spectacle, cracking his whip high with brutal force at the sleek black horses that led the carriage as it raced along the beach towards the caves. It was being driven at a dangerous pace, nearly tipping to one side. There was a coffin inside. Juliet. I prayed it was her but my sensitive hearing picked up a frantic heartbeat.
I reached out to the mind of the individual trapped in the coffin. It was a terrified young woman. She was bound, gagged and semi-naked. She was to be part of the ritual, offered as a human sacrifice to the gods for the joining of Sebastian and Juliet. Disappointment threatened to crush me.
