Blood Genesis — Tessa Dawn

Before there was a modern-day town called Dark Moon Vale, there was an ancient kingdom nestled in the Transylvanian Alps.Before there was a primordial species called the Vampyr, there was a celestial race begotten of gods and men. Before light battled shadow, the sacrifice became mandatory, or the first Blood Moon adorned the celestial sky...

There was The Curse.

A punishment.

An abomination.

The ultimate act of vengeance.

And it was placed upon a people so corrupted by their thirst for blood and dominion that they awakened the souls of the slain and became the souls of the damned:

Young, beautiful, and in the prime of her life,Jessenia Groza is not ready to die. Yet she has been condemned by Prince Jaegar's men, slated as a sacrifice to the gods.

Timaos Silivasi would gladly risk everything -his power, his privilege, his celestial heart - to save his one true love, but fate has a plan of its own...

For this couple.

For this civilization.

For this lost race of warriors, who will never be the same.

Every legend has a beginning...
