Milena-the vampire, the upÃr of folk tradition-walks through Vienna's gilded age: Klimt, Wanda of Venus in Furs, Krampus. It will mesmerize, horrify, and seduce!
Vienna Has Never Feared Monsters. It Crowns Them.Milena has survived death, burial, hunger, and the brutal awakening of the upÃr. Now immortal, refined, and increasingly conscious of her power, she enters fin-de-siècle Vienna-a city where beauty is worshipped, desire is cultivated, and cruelty knows how to dress for dinner.
Lover, Predator, Vampire: Book II, Blood & Gold carries Milena from the folkloric world of her origins into one of Europe's great centers of art, sexuality, intellectual upheaval, and aristocratic decadence. Old imperial certainties strain against modernism, artistic rebellion, changing sexual mores, and a culture fascinated by everything it publicly condemns.
Moving through shadowed salons, private chambers, artists' studios, and gilded interiors, Milena encounters a society in which desire has become an aesthetic and domination can masquerade as refinement. Gustav Klimt's sensual Vienna provides one backdrop, while the literary world of Venus in Furs sharpens the novel's exploration of dominance and surrender, cruelty and devotion, fantasy and lived desire.
Yet Blood & Gold is more than a descent into decadence. Milena still searches for intimacy, meaning, and the limits of her own appetites. When a young street girl named Elise enters her life, she discovers that immortality does not free her from consequence. To protect another life may also mean possessing it.
As winter closes around Vienna and Krampusnacht summons older Central European fears into the modern city, ancient and contemporary collide. Beneath the gold leaf, silk, music, and cultivated manners lies something Milena recognizes immediately: predation has never belonged exclusively to monsters. Human beings have simply learned to disguise it more beautifully.
Written by historian Dante Remy, whose work draws on extensive knowledge of Central and Eastern European history, languages, folklore, literature, and cultural traditions, Blood & Gold places its vampire within a carefully realized historical world rather than using the past as decorative backdrop.
The Lover, Predator, Vampire series is rooted in the histories, languages, folklore, religious traditions, and cultural practices of Central and Eastern Europe. Drawing on ancient beliefs surrounding the restless dead and the later traditions of the upÃr and vampire, the novels explore fear, desire, superstition, faith, sexuality, and power within vividly realized historical worlds. The series is unapologetically explicit, bringing erotic desire, domination, violence, intimacy, and transgression into the foreground with an intensity rarely found in conventional historical or Gothic fiction. Historically rigorous. Culturally grounded. Literarily informed. Sexually transgressive.
If Book I was Milena's awakening, Book II is her coronation.
Touch the gold. Taste the blood.
