HER CROWN WAS TAKEN. SHE WILL RISK IT ALL TO GET IT BACK. Get bitten by the international award-winning IN THE BLOOD's suspense, compelling characters, and darkly humorous take on the classic horror genre, featuring Marie Antoinette. 2018 Silver Stake Award Winner - International Vampire Film and Arts Festival 2018 Midwest Book Award Finalist for Fiction - Fantasy/SciFi/Horror/Paranormal from the Midwest Independent Publishing Association (MIPA) Art Student Sybill Lysander had an ordinary life, working in a coffee shop in the Central West End of St. Louis, with every day much like the one before. Then a vampire named Fin walked in the door, and her whole world changed. Fin and his maker, former Queen Marie Antoinette had hidden for years in the nearby gated community of Westmoreland Place. But when pieces of her past came up on the auction block, Marie was filled with nostalgic longing, wanting to collect those items for herself. Old enemies were patiently watching, and both Fin and Sybill become caught up in Marie's unfinished business.
