Petra

"e;Petra is a powerfully written and incredibly well-researched vampire novel. Lasota's writing style reminds me of a cross between Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire and Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian."e; —Marilyn Peake "e;Not only is the tale rich with historical detail, it is driven by fully realized characters who come to life on the page. I literally could not put the book down."e; —C. Jane Reid For those who love stories in the vein of Anne Rice, the Immortal Codex series is a fresh and unusual twist on vampire lore.__________________Petra is the Prima Vita, the only true immortal. But the darker the gift, the higher the blood price—and she has paid it all. At the moment of her making, at the turn of the first millennium amid the glories and horrors of Ancient Rome, two men died with her. Both reborn in Petra's immortal blood, one became her lover and the other her enemy. Petra promised the unspeakable to save Lucius from Clarius. The bargain, once struck, was simple: die with Clarius once a year to keep Lucius safe for an eternity.__________________In Book 1 of the Immortal Codex series, Petra's epic journey takes her across the centuries, from Ancient Rome to the bustling streets of Genoa… from plague-ridden Kaffa to Avignon, France in search of a way to break free from the one who would destroy her. "e;The rich and vivid imagery, and the vibrant prose kept me fascinated… [Petra] doesn't rely on tropes or cliches too much, forging its own path and setting up its own foundation for a unique story that horror and paranormal romance fans will definitely enjoy!"e; —The Upstream Writer "e;This book is enticing. Exquisite in detail. As soon as I began to submerge this amazing read, it gave me some major Interview with the Vampire feels."e; —John Valentin
