Unheil braut sich über dem pulsierenden Vancouver zusammen. Die Stadt soll zum Epizentrum einer dämonischen Konvergenz werden, und als Stuntfrau Leah Burnett zum Fokus übersinnlicher Aktivitäten wird, steckt der angehende Regieassistent Tony wieder einmal mittendrin im Geschehen. Wie sich herausstellt, ist die 3.500 Jahre alte Leah eine Art personifiziertes Tor für den Dämonenfürsten Ryne Cyratane - stirbt sie, wird Cyratane wiederkehren und Tod und Verderben über die Welt bringen. Tony bleibt nicht viel Zeit, um seine magischen Fähigkeiten zu vertiefen, denn die dämonischen Angriffe auf Leah häufen sich, und es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis einer der Attentäter Erfolg haben und sich für die Welt der Vorhang zum letzten Akt heben wird.

Tanya Huff's second novel in her supernatural thriller series set in the Blood universe.

Napsat Dluh krve nebylo mým původním záměrem, protože jsem považovala příběh za uzavřený s koncem Spojení krve. Po čase jsem však cítila potřebu prozkoumat Vickiin nový život a změny ve jejím světě. Velkým rozdílem bylo, že Henry se usadil ve Vancouveru, což znamenalo, že Vicki a Mike museli za ním. Tato změna je zbavila vnitřního spojence, a v případě potíží byli odkázáni sami na sebe, přičemž většinu problémů si způsobili sami. Krevní pouta se zaměřují na vztahy mezi hlavními protagonisty a metafyzické záhady, a protože jsem v Dluhu krve vyřešila jejich vztahy, neplánuji další knihy o Vicki Nelsonové, kromě sbírky povídek nazvané Krevní banka. V této sbírce se opět objevují soukromá detektivka Vicky Nelsonová, detektiv Celluci a upír Henry Fitzroy, levoboček anglického krále Henryho VIII. Povídky doplňují příběhy z předchozích knih a zkoumají nástrahy důvěrných vztahů mezi lidmi a upíry, stejně jako jejich společný boj s temnými přízraky a démony. I upíři mohou stát na straně světla a spravedlnosti.

A ghost has invaded his home, beginning a dangerous nightly game in which Henry is allowed to ask a single question. If the answer is no, an innocent and unsuspecting person is killed. Henry soon comes to the horrifying realization that this wraith—and the others who join it—is using him to wreak vengeance on the people it holds responsible for its death. Henry can’t find the source of these murders on his own, so he calls on the one person he trusts to help—private investigator Vicki Nelson, with the small hope that they can stop these otherworldly forces, without losing their lives. Also includes a brand-new short story featuring Vicki and Henry!

Vicki Nelson has received the call that no daughter ever wants to receive—that her mother has died. Marjory Nelson’s coworkers at the Queen’s University Life Science Department told her that she suffered a heart attack, and that they’d be waiting for Vicki to arrive in Kingston to make the funeral arrangements. But what begins as a personal tragedy turns into the most terrifying case of Vicki’s career, when her mother’s body disappears mysteriously from the funeral home. Someone at the University is determined to learn the secret of life after death…and they’ve decided to make Vicki’s mother part of their horrifying experiments.

An ancient evil, long sealed in a sarcophagus, awakens in Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum, threatening the minds and souls of its citizens. As the seals that contained him weaken, three individuals begin to sense the impending danger. This gripping narrative blends elements of horror and suspense, exploring themes of ancient curses and the struggle against dark forces. The story unfolds against a backdrop of Egyptology, weaving a tale of intrigue and the fight to thwart a malevolent resurrection.

Tanya Huff's first novel in a new supernatural thriller series set in the Blood series universe.

The Blood Books are now available in "Blood Ties" TV tie-in editions. View our TV tie-in feature page here here. For centuries, the werewolves of Toronto have managed to live in peace and tranquility, hidden quietly away on their London, Ontario farm. But now, someone has learned their secret—and is systematically massacring this ancient race. The only one they can turn to is Henry Fitzroy, Toronto-based vampire and writer of bodice rippers. Forced to hide from the light of day, Henry can’t hunt the killer alone, so he turns to Vicki Nelson for help. As they race against time to stop the murderer, they begin to fear that their combined talents may not be enough to prevent him from completing his deadly plan.

It began with blood and death. And Vicki Nelson, PI was at the scene. The victim had been brutally, inhumanly opened up. Messy work. She'd had to cover the corpse with her coat. It had sort of made her feel involved. Now Vicki is caught up in the deadly pursuit of a mass murderer with an inhuman appetite for mayhem and destruction. And her advisor on the case is doing nothing to dampen her growing sense of foreboding. But then, with a being of unspeakable evil stalking the city, only Vicki Nelson would ally herself to Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate child of Henry VIII and a five-hundred-year-old vampire.
