The Blood Opera Sequence

A gothic fantasy trilogy similar in scope and theme to Anne Rice’s The Witching Hour and Tales of the Mayfair Witches.

After her mother's death, Rachaela realizes she is being stalked by agents of the mysterious Scarabae family, the tribe of the father she never knew. Despite her instincts to keep away from the Scarabae, she ultimately relents and is taken to the rambling, isolated house near the sea, where the Scarabae live in baroque seclusion. The fading splendour of the house closes around Rachaela like a stifling womb, and she's given no explanation for this ménage of bizarre oldsters, who are like creatures from an earlier age, and certainly not normal. Is there something supernatural to the Scarabae, or are they merely lost in delusion?

When Rachaela finally meets Adamus, a beautiful and apparently young man who claims to be her father, events take a darker turn. The Scarabae have a purpose for Rachaela—but this is nothing like she'd imagined.
