New Novel!
I'm getting closer to releasing my latest novel! It's been 2 years in the making. Currently trying to come up with a useable blurb. What do you think of this? Currently I think It's my best attempt:
For centuries, a hidden clique of vampires ruled Europe from the shadows. Then they created Ofelia. Turned into a vampire against her will at the age of 11 in the 14th century, Ofelia has never aged.
After centuries of hunting vampires, she's on her way to Stonehenge to complete a ritual which will restore her humanity. However, an unfortunate turn of events will see her taken for an orphan, drawn into the British Social Care system and forced to attend school.
When her copy of the ritual vanishes, she loses all hope of lifting her curse. Worse still, it turns out she hadn't defeated all the vampires, and the one remaining vampire needs her blood to rebuild the vampire dynasty with him at the head.
Now Ofelia faces a choice: embrace her immortality and usher in a new generation of vampires, or finish what she started.

New Novel Blurb Reveal!
First of all, apologies to the fans (both of them!) but this isn't a Deathsworn Arc novel. This is something new. I've been working on it alongside Deathsworn Arc 6 for the last two years and I'm really pleased with how this has turned out. It still needs a few tweaks, but I think this is a great novel that will be enjoyed by anyone who likes the Deathsworn Arc. Yes it's a vampire story - but I think it's a really new take on the genre. Here's the blurb I've settled on:-
For centuries, a hidden clique of vampires ruled Europe from the shadows. Then they created Ofelia. Turned into a vampire at the age of 11 in the 15th century, Ofelia has never aged.
After centuries of hunting vampires she's on her way to Stonehenge to perform a ritual, which she hopes will restore her humanity. However, an unfortunate turn of events will see her taken for an orphan, placed in a children's home and forced to attend school.
When her copy of the ritual vanishes, she loses all hope of lifting her curse.
Worse still, it turns out she hadn't defeated all the vampires, and the one remaining vampire needs her blood to rebuild the vampire dynasty with him ad the head.
Now Ofelia faces a choice: embrace her immortality and usher in a new generation of vampires, or finish what she started.
