Count Samuel d'Orleans leads a charmed life in a stately house. On the eve of the French Revolution he marries his beloved Alexandra. Soon, he and his wife have to flee for their lives. However, his troubles elevate when they are pursued by a man. Little does Samuel know that his pursuer was the most lethal of immortal creatures, a vampire.
I really liked this book. I felt such compassion for Samuel as he was such a good person. Thinking maybe he could return to his chateau in France and restore it to it's former beauty, but I was wrong. His old friends all turned on him. Maybe eventually he will find closure.
