Voyage of Death and Desire: The Vampires of Charleston Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987809174)

"Voyage of Death and Desire" is the first book in the sister series of the popular series, "Vampires of New Orleans"

Nineteen-year-old Elsbeth Abernathy, the eldest of nine, has always been marked as unmarriable-cursed by strange fits that have haunted her since childhood. Branded as demon-possessed, she and her widowed mother are forced to flee Scotland, hoping for a fresh start in Charles Town, South Carolina.

Captain Hawthorne Rex, a young and inexperienced leader, takes charge of their voyage across the Atlantic. When he witnesses one of Elsbeth's terrifying episodes, he makes a fateful choice: to protect her and her starving family from the perils of the sea.

Their journey takes a darker turn when a mysterious stranger boards the ship-an ancient vampire with his own sinister plans. Drawn into his world, Elsbeth must make unimaginable sacrifices to protect her family and the lives of everyone aboard.

Centuries later, in modern-day Charleston, an old love returns, and fate intervenes once more. Will Elsbeth finally escape the darkness that has pursued her through the ages, or will her cursed past claim her future?
