Book excerpt: From the Holy Land and the long Crusades, to European kingdoms, 20th Century Paris, Venice, and New Orleans, Dark Ages sweeps the reader into a world of intrigue, danger, and timeless romance. Set in the Mid-Nineteen Nineties, in Southern Louisiana, Dark Ages opens a window into the subculture of Liatris, people upon whom vampire myths and legends were based. Anton Kierkegaard is a wealthy financier, trapped in a world of masters and slaves who are governed by their instincts, and by ancient laws as old as civilization. Into this world, he brings a young woman, Rachel Frederick. Held captive by powerful beings she cannot understand, Rachel becomes a pawn in the battle between coldly calculating creatures of the night, and the men who pursue them. Rachel must learn to survive at the center of a clash of cultures, questioning everything she has ever believed, even her own sanity.
