Description

<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, &quot;Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None&quot;. Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>

Reviews

The hapless victim of a brutal mugging, Alyssa lies bleeding to death, convinced that her life is coming to an end - that is, until she's rescued by the most unlikely of heroes: Lysander, an otherwise indifferent vampire who promptly sinks his teeth into her neck and bestows upon her the gift of immortality. Little does Alyssa know, though, the gift eventually becomes a curse, for it ultimately means the loss of friends, family, and life as she's come to know it. Stripped of her humanity, Alyssa soon joins Lysander as a host of powerful enemies converge against them, each bent on their destruction, and only by embracing her newfound powers - and her blossoming new union with Lysander - does she have the slightest chance of survival... <br /><br />Gripping and fast-paced, Immortalis Carpe Noctem is a riveting read. In it, author Katie Salidas presents an action-packed tale of a mythical dark underworld that stands out from the garden variety vampire lore currently dominating the rank and file of pop culture. Through the tortuous exploits of her protagonist, Salidas takes the reader on a vicarious journey deep into the heart of a hidden society rife with intriguing characters and intricate plotlines, all of which merge into a seamless mix of mystery, drama, and suspense. Furthermore, with a genuine nod to the supernatural, Immortalis maintains an edge of authenticity that tends to escape other vampire tales crafted solely for superficial shock value. <br /><br />The first installment in what promises to be a superb new series, Immortalis Carpe Noctem is the promising debut from a burgeoning literary talent on the rise. A strongly recommended read. <br /><br /><br />Renee Washburn <br />Apex Reviews
