Product Description

Legacy of Adrian Blackthorn, Vampire is the account of a young Englishman of noble birth who, after being cast out by his father because of an indiscretion, must leave Blackthorn Castle and seek his fortune in the army, where he is able to buy a junior officer’s commission. It is 1854 and the Crimean War takes him to the Ukraine, where he is wounded in battle. Waking up on a battlefield littered with the dead bodies of his comrades, and weak from his wound, young Blackthorn seeks shelter in a cave, unaware that it is home to Drago, a thousand-year-old vampire. Drago turns the young officer into a vampire fledgling, keeping him as a slave. Despite being a vampire held in bondage by the mad Drago, Blackthorn is determined to return to England and claim his birthright.

Fascinating Fiction!
"Legacy of Adrian Blackthorn, Vampire" is truly a great example of story telling. The book is an easy read and by that I don't imply that its simplistic by any means. The book just flows so well that you forget you're reading. The plot and characters are well thought out. Woodrow Walker manages to explain the characters with efficiency, rather than page upon page of longwinded descriptions. I like that because he gives the reader a little room to imagine and embellish for him or herself what the characters and settings might be like. The book is a nice length for the busy reader. Woodrow weaves new elements into the vampire legend seamlessly without dispelling the idea of what it means to be a vampire. There are a lot of powerful visual elements in this book. I found it refreshing and I highly recommend this book. It truly is as entertaining as Anne Rice's series and is a very original story! A must read for the vampire fan!
