A Dracula retelling shaped by love and a curse

In this modern-day reimagining, Dracula’s long history of losing the woman he loves meets a new encounter at a conservatory in Venice, where he teaches music. The woman is now a witch with a purpose that puts her destiny at odds with his. That setup brings gothic vampire romance together with a recurring cycle of love, loss, and supernatural conflict. The book is described as a standalone, though it is also a spinoff of The Dark Eyes Duet. The publisher notes that it contains dark material and advises readers to check the book’s content warnings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in gothic vampire romance and Dracula retellings.
  • Readers who enjoy supernatural love stories involving witches and vampires.

Book overview

From the New York Times & USA Today bestselling author of Black Sunshine and River of Shadows comes a new dark vampire romance about the vampire known as Dracula.

 

Once there was a man who fell deeply in love with a woman he could never have. When their affair was uncovered she was brutally murdered in front of him, and he discovered he was cursed, doomed to live forever as a vampire.

Over the centuries, he found his love again, and lost her again, until he was so broken he gave up on love entirely, sinking into the depths of depravity, losing his humanity.

Then one day, she came back into his life. A student of music studying under him at the conservatory in Venice, Italy where he was a professor. But even though he found her beautiful and intriguing, he didn't recognize his fated mate at all.

Because this time she had to hide her true self.

This time she came back as a witch, whose destiny wasn't to love him...but to kill him.

 

Blood Orange is a modern-day Dracula retelling about the "real-life" Dracula that inspired Bram Stoker. This is a dark vampire romance with plenty of content warnings (please check interior of book) and while it is a spinoff of The Dark Eyes Duet, it can be read as a standalone.
