Patty G Henderson presents the first installment of The Karnov Trilogy in So Dead My Love. This Author's Choice Edition follows Samantha Barnes, an artist whose fixation on Lara Karnov triggers a supernatural event. Lara is a member of the Karnov Family, a powerful vampire clan that remains active on Earth. The narrative centers on an arcane book of vampire lore that contains a prophecy about a savior among vampires who will die and rise again to save the undead. Samantha falls under Lara’s spell and enters a world defined by blood and murder. She is unaware that Lara is central to this ancient prophecy, which both fears and adores the Karnov Clan. The plot requires Samantha to face her darkest fears and innermost desires while racing to protect those she loves. Her actions determine whether the dark prophecy is unleashed upon the world. Readers who enjoy gothic fiction featuring complex vampire clans and romantic obsession will find this story engaging.
