Lindsay Fang McFadden thought becoming Head Girl would make her final year at St. Augustine's Academy her most challenging yet. She never imagined she would begin the school year recovering from an attack by one of England's most notorious serial killers. The attack was not random-and the attacker was not human. Hidden within the misty woods surrounding the academy lies a world of mystics, witches, shadows, demons, and vampires bound by ancient laws and dangerous secrets. Standing between that hidden world and chaos is Leonidas Forsyte, the academy's handsome and enigmatic Head Boy, who is secretly the Vampiric Viscount of Augustine, an immortal nobleman tasked with protecting his coven and guarding centuries of darkness.
With the help of his Bloodletter witch, Nicola Winchester, Leonidas has spent years keeping his monstrous hunger under control. Yet from the moment he meets Lin, he finds himself drawn to her in ways he cannot explain. Her wit challenges him, her determination fascinates him, and the scent of her rare blood threatens every ounce of his restraint. As Head Boy and Head Girl, they are forced to work side by side while concealing truths that could destroy them both. In a school filled with witchy queen bees, gunslinging vampires, forbidden bloodlines, secret societies, and headline-making murders, a girl carrying a dangerous legacy and a boy hiding his unbeating heart find themselves drawn together by forces neither of them fully understand. But at Augustine, secrets never stay buried for long, and the cost of keeping them may plunge the entire town into chaos.
LIN & LEONIDAS: THE VISCOUNT VAMPIRE is the first novel in The Rose Blood Saga, a gothic fantasy romance filled with dark academia, immortal aristocracy, supernatural intrigue, forbidden longing, and deadly secrets lurking beneath the surface of an elite English boarding school.
