I promised...I delivered.

After seven years of research, at least thirty re-writes, and two delays in release date, it's finally coming in May...

Valantinus: Blood Brothers.

Reviews:

"Valantinus is by no means the typical vampire. He is like some sort of evil comic book villain and alien hybrid who has at present lived a total of 46 lifetimes. He is cold blooded, calculating and one of the most interesting and compelling vampire creations since Blade. (The comic book character that spawned three Wesley Snipes movies.)

Blood Brothers is at once unsettling, creepy, funny, sad and passionate. Just like life. I can hardly wait to read Ziana’s already announced prequel and sequel to this trilogy. She’s already got me licking my fangs." Read the full review at swampland.com

"This thing scared the (bleep) out of me! Everything is so vivid, the Covenants, mindblowing. I'll never count to 2,791 again...or visit Orleans for that matter. It reads like a movie...congrats!"

Don Wallace, Actor, Scriptwriter, Director

"When Ziana told me she had found a totally new angle on the vampire novel. I restrained myself from telling her there was no such thing, that every author in the genre pretend to have found that elusive beast...Ziana proved me wrong. I wanted to pace myself through it, and prepared a lovely pint of ice cream, spoon at the ready, I opened the book and...closed it, three hundred or so pages later, after deaths, betrayals, love (or as close as they can get to it) and battles...ice cream laying forgotten in a puddle, reminding me that I had just gone through a new experience...”

"I love the historical feel. Bloody, evil...sexy. I can see it as a movie."

Back Cover Blurb

They were asps, disguised in human skins, their primary food source: Human blood. They were the Men and Women of Naja Haje, the forerunners of the vampires we know today.

2,791 years after their creation, the Pure, the Evil, and the Equalizer emerge as The Unholy Trinity. Like pawns, three souls play out a game designed by the Demons of the Under-world. When the moral compass is shot to Hell, the Seven Deadly Sins begin to look like minor infractions. Corrupt passions and lust for power collide when a rival with a secret vendetta, leading a band of renegade blood drinkers, is on a mission to tear down the infrastructure of a system that has been in place since their creation. Valantinus, Governor of the damned, enforces order with brutality. Vengeance sets an already blackened heart aflame as those he trusts are slain, or shift their alliances to Golden Mask—the vampire with no face—his immortal enemy.
