Suggestion Sunday: Blood Ties by S.L. Baron

Blood Ties by S.L. Baron

Blurb:
A night shattered by unspeakable savagery…
A loss so great it calls those who keep to the shadows to action…
As Bridget—elder vampire and former assassin to the mother of vampires—celebrates with her soon-to-be fledgling, Sébastien, the tranquility of Paris is destroyed by violence. Over a hundred people lie dead… among them, Sébastien.
Grief-stricken and furious, Bridget vows to return to her former role—using her preternatural powers to bear on those who kill so many innocents. And unexpected help arrives as other vampires—sick of the destruction of their prey and the history they’ve lived through and built—join her cause.
But Bridget and her allies aren’t as careful as they thought in their war. As attacks are thwarted worldwide, ordinary humans are discovering a world they never imagined, one hidden in plain sight from them, one both fascinatingly beautiful and terrifying.
Can Bridget change the world without endangering her kind? Or will her next war be waged against humans?

Blurb:

Dreams and nightmares take Hedda to hell and back.

The combined forces of opium and pain brings her face to face with her life. From rural Sweden in late nineteenth century, over Silkeborg to the Danish Capital, and during the Great War, she experiences love and loss, poverty and betrayal.

Hedda gives up everything to win independence. She soon discovers that this is one thing to wish for, but another to achieve. Life handles her roughly, but can she develop strength of character? Will she pay for her freedom in ways she doesn’t anticipate?

The Triptych Blurb
Three Parts. Three generations. Dreams and fantasies, war and peace.
What holds families together and what splits them up? Social climbing or the wish for independence?
Warring nations drive each generation to make choices that sweep away their lives or change the individuals beyond recognition.

The first two books, Snares and Delusions, as well as Woes and Wonders, are available on Amazon.

The Window Man by Xanxa Symanah

Blurb:

Second of the Virian Companions, telling the back-story of Lyle Menehari.

Born into a high-ranking Carpathian family, Lyle’s future is all mapped out for him, or so he thinks. When he meets a mysterious new tutor and learns about his true nature, a whole new world of opportunities is opened up for him.
Training to become a spy and assassin turns out to be very different from what Lyle had expected. His new tutor has some extremely unconventional teaching methods and Lyle is constantly challenged while he prepares for the role which he is destined to perform for his family.
Throughout all his trials, Lyle is inspired and influenced by the enigmatic legendary assassin known only by the code-name of The Window Man, a figure whom he has admired since his childhood. He discovers that he has far more in common with his hero than he ever imagined.
Learning to deal with loss and disappointment is all part of the experience, as well as coming to terms with a particularly cruel prophecy. Can he overcome the prophecy and carve out a happy future for himself?
