Cathedral of Vampires

"The Marquis de Sade managed to survive the French Revolution despite having a mother-in-law intent on keeping him imprisoned. Madame de Montreuil was smitten with Sade prior to his marriage to her daughter. Once the rumors about his debauchery started, she decided it would be best to have him confined either in a jail or an asylum. Not that Sade was more depraved than the other noblemen of the time, for he wasn’t. Only Sade demanded more public attention. The other nobles were content to keep their activities secret. Sade was not. His indiscretions brought about a passionate war between Sade and Madame de Montreuil. This historical pairing gave me the idea for my vampire series. The two could spend an eternity tormenting each other. However, once my Madame de Montreuil became a vampire, she altered her sense of morality and found joy in being a dominatrix. How else could a woman have men begging her to draw their blood? Briefly Sade was able to escape his mother-in-law, but in CATHEDRAL OF VAMPIRES she’s back—meaner than ever. This time she meets Justin, a young man trying to do right but faltering because of his own dark inheritance. Justin is loosely based on Sade’s own character Justine. The poor girl couldn’t escape the ravages of her time, and Justin can’t break away from his close union with vampirism. Should he remain with the vampires to free them with a stake through the heart? Or should he allow himself to love a human and perhaps put her life in danger?" Description from the publisher View Less
