An international thriller that spans centuries
in the quest for vengeance and patriotism
as the Vampiatis forge through the fury of the wicked.
For Blood and Country, the first book of the Vampiro Series, is the story about a family from Venice, Italy,
who is recruited by the church to help defeat the outbreak of vampires in Europe during the late 1700s.
Pietro Vampiati, the father, a masterful political strategist, takes an unorthodox approach to the problem,
he becomes a vampire himself, along with his three sons, Giacomo, Salvatore, and Michael.
Two hundred and fifty years later, the entire family, including Vikki, the daughter, and Mia, the mother,
is living in the United States and has become one of the wealthiest families in the world.
The Vampiatis have managed to hide their true identities from humanity through their manipulation
of the Vampirian virus using formulations that control the unwanted effects of the infection.
Their formulations, which affect the virusβs impact on human DNA, can also enhance their physical
and mental abilities along with providing them a host of other unique powers. Over the past 120 years,
the Vampiatis have gained control of the international underworld of vampire covens through
their formulations. Now, those formulas are at risk, and through a series of betrayals, bribes,
and murders by their global rivals, the family is accidentally discovered by the CIA,
who decides itβs better working with the Vampiatis, than against them.
