There have only been eight Origins of Vampiric Houses. And if the mysterious Carmilla is the ninth, she may pose more than a small problem. Magnetic to the point of irresistibility, clever to the verge of arrogance and ingratiating almost to obsequious, can she be trusted to keep her fangs to herself? And is she even a vampire? Bloodlust and carnal lust come together in Conclave of Vampire’s eighth book.
