About this ebook
Penny Dreadful meets American Gods.
Aidan was born under a new October moon in the golden hills north of San Francisco. His mother was a vampire. His father died in childbirth, bite marks still bleeding. Vampires rarely give birth. Usually, they just bite someone. They are not alive, so it is impossible for them to create life, although they can create immortality. Aidan’s birth is much more unusual than virgin birth. Granted, human virgin birth is miraculous, but in many species of fish, lizard, insect and shark, virgin birth is the norm. It is helpful to remember that a miracle is not necessarily good, it is simply unnatural. Some say there is an order to the universe. The earth revolves, turning day to night, summer to fall. Things sprout and die with precision. There is a master clock, perhaps a master clockmaker? If so, Aidan is an un-clockmaker. He is a crossbreed, a rare twining of DNA.
From the moment that seven-year-old Neil finds the baby, pale and beautiful as an earth, his life changes. His happy home life crumbles. His beloved uncle, Ryan, vanishes, leaving only bloody footprints in a silent wood.
Neil sets off with his pet crow, Huck, in search of answers to questions he can’t even begin to imagine.
Everywhere he goes people beg him to stay, but just when Neil is beginning to feel a place might become home, a howl rises from some dark night place driving him onward, making him flee a nameless fear and travel toward an unknown destiny. Something or someone is drawing him to the alleyways of San Francisco. And it isn’t just Neil’s life that is at stake, it’s his immortal soul as well.
Like Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Blood Prism is a blend of history, fantasy, and Americana.
Join a cast of characters real and mythological on a wild ride through the Catskill Mountains, down the River Styx and into an alternate San Francisco, where love might just be stronger than destiny...or maybe not.
