Grim Games
About this ebook
But achieving these goals is far from simple. Bloodlust claws at him, suspicion shadows him after his rival's disappearance, an ancestral spirit seeks to possess him, and a man with vital answers is savagely killed.
Complications escalate when Harlan, owing a favor to his killer Gabriel, is forced to compete in the Grim Games at Count Evander Eve's estate. There, he encounters new allies and fierce enemies, including the count's nephew Roderick, a knife-wielding former Bedlam inmate, and Clyde, a long-lost relative with ancient grudges. Over a blood-soaked weekend, vendettas blaze, alliances shift, and buried secrets come to light.
"Grim Games," the fourth entry in the Thornhill Vampire Chronicles, is a Gothic thrill ride through the shadowy echelons of vampire society and the haunted history of the Thornhill family. Dark, deep, and fraught with intense dilemmas, it promises an unforgettable journey.
About the author
Lucius Valiant is a Danish-British author.
The first real book he recalls reading is Bram Stoker’s "Dracula." And that, as the saying goes, was that. There would be no turning back.
Lucius’s literary inspirations include classics of Gothic fiction, such as Mary Shelley’s "Frankenstein" and Oscar Wilde’s "The Picture of Dorian Gray," as well as horror, supernatural, and speculative fiction by writers such as Anne Rice, Poppy Z. Brite, and Stephen King. He also draws much influence from Britain’s rich history, folklore, and legends.
All of these influences shine through like glittering, dark fairy dust in his writing, which readers have described as vivid, visceral, and cinematic, with a sprinkling of wry humor.
