Publisher's Summary
Audie Award Nominee, Paranormal, 2013
1870. A time known as The Great Killing. The vampire clans arose and slaughtered humanity with unprecedented carnage in the northern parts of the world. Millions perished; millions were turned into herd animals. The great industrialized civilizations of the world were left in ruin. A remnant fled south to the safety of the ever present heat which was intolerable to vampires. There, blending with the local peoples, they rebuilt their societies founded on human ingenuity, steam and iron. The year now is 2020. The Equatorian Empire, descendant of the British Empire, stretches from Alexandria to Cape Town. Princess Adele, quick witted, combat trained and heir to throne is set to wed the scion of the American Republic, a man she has never met. Their marriage will cement an alliance between the nations and set the stage for war against the vampires in an attempt to retake the north. Prepared to do her duty she finds herself caught in a web of political intrigue and physical danger.
The Greyfriar, a legendary vampire hunter from the north, appears ready to rescue the Princess and return her home—but he harbors secrets of his own. As the power struggle between the vampires and humans increase Adele and The Greyfriar are caught in the middle, on the run, being hunted, and fighting for not just their own lives, but for future of humanity.

wonderfully addictive!!! loved it!
Totally hooked on the series...the story is truly gripping and James Marster's narration excellently and perfectly executed...with all the different character voices and accents, the combination of a great story and James' narration truly takes you into a realistic fantastical world!

Couldn't finish it
Maybe it gets better but it was a weak introduction where the characters felt flat and unoriginal. The action was ok but at this point I think if you're going to contribute to the millions of vampire and/or fantasy novels out there, you need to either bring something new or have a great writing style. I don't like to quit books without finishing but life's too short and I have a to-read bookshelf a mile long.
Although I like James Marsters I wasn't happy with his performance here. His speaking volume was very inconsistent, which meant I had to choose between straining to hear at times, or have some words occasionally blast out louder than the rest.

Predictable, unoriginal
Pretty disappointing
The characters had nothing in them, they were generic teenage fantasy blandness with no substance or really motive to their actions. The storyline was also same same. Elements such as chemical warfare and airships should've been explored more and with greater detail to what they actually are because it made it very confusing
Feels like it was a high-school story submission.
Not even James Marsters who beautifully performed the Dresden Files couldn't do anything with the characters or the story to make it interesting
