A TALE OF OBSESSION, DESIRE… AND BLOOD For her vampire lover Karl, Charlotte has forsaken her human life. She thought their bond would last for eternity — until Karl's former flame, the seductively beautiful Katerina, is rescued from the depths of the Weisskalt. Now she wants to reclaim her life… and Karl. In despair, Charlotte turns to the prima ballerina Violette Lenoir, an ice maiden who only thaws when she dances. Charlotte is fascinated as she has been by no other human, but her obsession unleashes a far darker threat than the vampires could ever have imagined… Praise for A Taste of Blood Wine: “A really splendid read… Freda Warrington is like a cross between Anne Rice and Kim Newman — she has the sweep of one, the cleverness of the other.” Starburst “The author's take on vampire myth is both original and breathtaking… Eminently readable, absorbing, and all-round brilliant.” The British Fantasy Society
