Dark Ages

Set in the mid-Nineteen nineties, in southern Louisiana, Dark Ages opens a window on the subculture of Liatris, people upon whom vampire myths and legends were based. Anton Kierkgaard is on the brink of becoming a master of Liatris, plunging him into a time of confused indecision, punctuated by nightmares of the past. He exists in a world of masters and slaves, governed by ancient laws as old as civilization. Into this world, Anton brings a young woman, Rachel Frederick. Held against her will by powerful beings she cannot understand, Rachel becomes a pawn in the battle between cold blooded, blood-drinking, creatures of the night, and the men who pursue them. Rachel must try to survive, trapped at the center of a clash of cultures, questioning everything she has ever believed, even her own sanity.
