The Americas have never achieved their independence. For three hundred years, they have been under the iron rule of Europe’s high born vampyres. Every year, thirteen young mortals, one from each of the colonies, are collected as tributes and brought to New York where they are transmuted into vampyres. The debutants’ ascension to immortality is the occasion for a sumptuous ball, a tribute in silk and blood to the might of the most venerable masters of the night.
But this night, the splendor of the ball will be eclipsed by the hostage crisis of the century. They are five and they call themselves the desperadoes. Five people with nothing to lose since the vampyres have taken everything away from them. They have decided to infiltrate the celebration in an attempt to try the impossible: taking hostage the debutants and making the vampyres pay for their foul and cruel deeds. This suicide mission into the very heart of darkness will not only seal the fates of the five, but also the fate of the Americas.
In this spin-off of the “Vampyria” saga, Victor Dixen depicts the Americas in an alternate timeline, frozen at the Baroque era for eternity. A sumptuous, sensual world full of darkness, where the American dream becomes a playground for monsters and marvels. With this first volume, “The Tomb of the Immortals”, Dixen adroitly blends the luxurious, atmospheric depiction of a sophisticated vampire universe in the vein of Ann Rice with the frenzied rhythm of a Die Hard-movie.
