Blood of the Four
by Christopher Golden Tim Lebbon“This intriguing tale of magic and mayhem delves deep into the human psyche and shows what great writing and characters are all about. It grabs you by the throat and heartstrings and won’t let go. If BLOOD OF THE FOUR isn’t on your Must Be Read pile, it should be!” — Sherrilyn Kenyon, #1 New York Times Bestselling of the Dark-Hunters & Nevermore“BLOOD OF THE FOUR is magnificent! Epic in scope, grand in execution, and majestic and bloodthirsty in equal measure.” — Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Queens of Renthia series“There’s something for everyone here, including some subtly feminist themes and several spectacular displays of magical conflict. This novel is an expert crowd-pleaser.” — Publishers Weekly“Golden and Lebbon pull off pure magic with BLOOD OF THE FOUR. Easily one of the best fantasies I’ve read in the last ten years. BLOOD OF THE FOUR kicks all kinds of ass!” — James A. Moore, author of the SEVEN FORGES and TIDES OF WAR series“Blood of the Four is definitely fantasy on an epic level, contained in an overwhelming single volume for the reader’s convenience.” — New York Journal of Books“Epic. Horror titans Golden (Ararat, 2017) and Lebbon (Relics, 2017), who previously teamed up on th YA series The Secret Journeys of Jack London (The Wild, 2011), meld their talents again in this fantasy of madness and war.” — Booklist“In a genre overcrowded by ever expanding series, this book demonstrates that there is plenty of room for action and intrigue in a stand-alone [...] A nicely self-contained and kinetic excursion into political fantasy.” — Kirkus Reviews“Thoughtful and thoroughly entertaining.” — B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog“If you love epic fantasy, especially if you are looking for one where you can read it all without endless waiting for a next volume or spending a year of your life wading through a dozen or more doorstops, grab a copy of BLOOD OF THE FOUR.” — Reading Reality“This book blew my expectations away, making me extra glad I actually read it! I would wholeheartedly recommend this, especially since it’s not like a 10 book commitment – it’s a standalone after all! 5/5 would book-push this book. 5/5 would read again.” — Power & Page“BLOOD OF THE FOUR is a fun read. The partnership of Golden and Lebbon has resulted in a stylistically seamless narrative [...] The attention paid to gender makes the book refreshingly contemporary and adds important intellectual and cultural heft to an entertaining tale.” — Bookreporter.com“Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon are a formidable pair of writers of fantasy stories. They have total control over their characters and the character arcs are finished perfectly. It is a real treat for all those who enjoy reading fantasy fiction.” — Washington Book Review“What do you get when you bring two skilled authors together and the write a book? The answer is simple, something rather wonderful.” — The Eloquent Page
Blood of the Lamb
by Sam CabotThe Historian meets The Da Vinci Code and Inferno in this exhilarating supernatural thriller set in Rome, where rival groups are searching for a document that holds a secret that could shatter the Catholic Church. Sam Cabot is the pseudonym of Carlos Dews and S. J. Rozan. This document, dear friend, will shatter the Church.... . Reading these words in a letter in a dusty archive, Thomas Kelly is skeptical. The papers to which they refer have vanished, but Father Kelly, a Jesuit priest, doubts that anything could ever have had that power-until the Vatican suddenly calls him to Rome to begin a desperate search for that very document. Meanwhile, standing before a council of her people, Livia Pietro receives instructions: she must find a Jesuit priest who has recently arrived in Rome and join his search for a document that contains a secret so shocking it has the power to destroy not only the Catholic Church, but Livia's people as well. As cryptic messages from the past throw Thomas and Livia into a treacherous world of art, religion, and conspiracy, they are pursued by those who would cross any line to obtain the document for themselves. Thomas and Livia must race to stop the chaos and destruction that the revelation of these secrets would create. Livia, though, has a secret of her own: She and her people are vampires. In a sprawling tapestry that combines the religious intrigue of Dan Brown with the otherworldly terror of Stephenie Meyer, Blood of the Lamb is an unforgettable journey into an unthinkable past. Praise for Blood of the Lamb "Wow. Blood of the Lamb is totally unlike any novel ever written about vampires or secret societies or Roman art mysteries or Vatican conspiracies. But Sam Cabot has combined all of these, in this refreshing potpourri that provides us surprising and wonderful insights into each-and at the same time, endless fun!" -Katherine Neville, New York Times bestselling author "You never quite catch your breath as the secrets unfold one at a time, all the while building to a first class conclusion. History, secrets, conspiracies, adventure. What more could you want from a thriller?" -Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author "A heady blend of Christian mythology and ecclesiastical reality, Blood of the Lamb is an intricate puzzle of a novel-intensely researched, deeply spiritual, and profoundly sacrilegious. I loved it. " -F. Paul Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of the Repairman Jack series "Just when you thought vampires were so last year, Sam Cabot's Blood of the Lamb offers up a fresh, compelling history of the vampire. Like all great works in the genre, this one makes us think deeply about what it really means to be human. Hope there will be more in this vein!" -Leslie S. Klinger, editor of The New Annotated Dracula "Audacious. " -Publishers Weekly "Firmly located in Dan Brown territory, this religious-themed thriller combines historical mystery with modern-day intrigue...One thing is crystal clear: [Dews and Rozan have] produced a first-rate thriller. " -Booklist "I literally could NOT put this book down once I started it! It is more of a roller coaster read than a Dan Brown novel, with more twists and historical references to keep any history buff running a Google search screen in the background as they are reading it!. . . This book is just so DIFFERENT- it offers intellect and scientific reasoning, combined with myth and produces a book in the vein of a Dan Brown book, but enhanced as it were, to a different level, where childish fantasies do not apply, and where the search for the great unknown exits. " -BlessTheirHeartsMom. blogspot. com "A beautiful contribution to the mystery, paranormal and thriller genre. It's an imaginative and historical take on an age old topic...Bravo, bravo. " - BitchesWithBooks. com .
