This fragile equilibrium is threatened, then crumbles after a single young princess becomes almost hopelessly lost in the hostile territory. At first, she has only one defender—a mysterious Greyfriar who roams freely in dangerous vampire regions.

Book #2
Princess Adele struggles
with a life of marriage and obligation as her Equatorian Empire and
their American Republic allies stand on the brink of war against the
vampire clans of the north. However, the alliance's horrific strategy
for total victory drives Adele to abandon her duty and embark on a
desperate quest to keep her nation from staining its hands with
genocide. Reunited with her great love, the mysterious adventurer known
to the world as the Greyfriar, Adele is pursued by her own people as
well as her vengeful husband, senator Clark. With the human alliance in
disarrray, Prince Cesare, lord of the British vampire clan, seizes the
initiative and strikes at the very heart of Equatoria.
As Adele labors to bring order to her world, she learns more about the strange powers she exhibited in the north. Her teacher, Mamoru, leads a secret cabal of geomancers who believe Adele is the one who can touch the vast power of the Earth that surges through ley lines and wells up at the rifts where the lines meet. These energies are the key to defeating the enemy of mankind, and if Princess Adele could ever bring this power under her command, she could be death to vampires. But such a victory will also cost the life of Adele's beloved Greyfriar.
The Rift Walkeris the second book in a trilogy of high adventure and alternative history. Combining rousing pulp action with steampunk style, the Vampire Empire series brings epic politcal themes to life within a story of heartbreaking romance, sacrifice, and heroism.

Super ! Inca o serie cu vampiri. Sunt o fana a genului cu vampiri, indiferent ce tip de personaje sunt acestia. Seria aceasta chiar pare grozava.
sunt vampiri putin altfel :), amandoua cartile sunt cu un pic de romantism dar au si actiune (exista un Fat-Frumos si o printesa)
sunt bestiale copertile...si descrierile sunt foarte misto...imi doresc seria asta mult
copertile sunt geniale, iar titulul mi se pare superb, cum spuneam , atunci cand titlul este bun obisnuies sa citesc cartea
