Silk Over Razor Blades - Paperback

by Ileandra Young (Author)

When Vampires take over Leicester...

Lenina Miller, ditsy and pampered bride to be, wants nothing more than to walk down the aisle in her scandalous red dress to the gasps and awed stares of friends and family. Her plans are shattered when a late night mugging not only scars her face and neck, but drops her in the centre of a frenzied police investigation to apprehend the attacker before he strikes again.

On the field of battle in 30 BC, Saar, son of Yafeu, sacrifices his life for his sovereign, Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt. Betrayed by the man he loves, forced to watch his country burn under Octavian's hostile takeover, Saar's agonising death appears to Lenina with all the lucid force of a true memory.

Two lives, separated by thousands of years, brought together through one night of violence.

Haunted by the memories of a man long dead, Lenina finds her body transforming, her appetites for food and flesh magnified to terrifying proportions. As the attentions of the investigating detective force her to choose between lust and love, Lenina also finds herself a target. The vampire who attacked her knows she survived and will stop at nothing to finish the job he started.

Author Biography

In The Words of Ileandra . . . Hi guys I'm Ileandra and I'm thrilled that you're here! I'm one half of a single author who separates her works with different names and (though she'll deny if it you ask) different personalities. I'm the fun, sane, vampire-loving half.;-) I write fantasy (though I occasionally dip into horror and comedy) usually with a contemporary slant. Though I do have some ideas lined up which will take readers to a rich fantasy world of my own devising, along with some home brewed races too. In live in Leicester, UK and work from home alongside caring for my twin sons. 'Silk Over Razor Blades' is first in my Saar's Legacy trilogy series, following Lenina Miller and Saar as their choices change the course of vampire/human relations for years to come. I hope you'll enjoy reading about them as much as I've enjoyed writing about them. Aside from that, I LARP (live action roleplay for the civilians among you) and enjoy avoiding TV in favour of DVDs (I've just finished watching Buffy all the way through for the first time - OMGFG that show is amazing). I love the colour purple (yes, the colour, not the movie) and eat more chocolate than is good for me (probably). *** The Mind Behind Ileandra . . .
