Emancipation: A Civil War Vampire Novel: Book One of The Thirsty Ones

The Confederacy has won the war. Ella Lantry knows in her soul that was the wrong outcome. Slavery has stolen her lover and her son from her, and she's lost even more to the Thirsty Ones that haunt the groves. She's a captive at her father's plantation, constantly watched to keep her from escaping. Now she is using any means necessary to end the injustice - including marrying a rich, reclusive, and dangerous man. Can this handsome man with mysterious powers help her change the course of history? Can one woman reverse the outcome of a war among nations? All Ella knows is that she must. She will never give up until she has saved her son.

Not a "romance novel with fangs," Emancipation is dark, disturbing, and compelling. If you want to stay up all night turning pages to find out what happens next, and if you're willing to risk nightmares and tears, this is the book for you. Ella is a fighter: deeply flawed, utterly committed, and unable to control the consequences of her attempts to improve her world.

Ella's story continues in Book Two: Rebellion, and Book Three: Search.
