COMING SOON! The Shape of Night by Hannah Brouwer
He won't leave,
not without her ...
Mina Kier awakens in an unfamiliar place with no memory of how she arrived and a burning thirst growing inside her. Her best friends, Sophie and Lea, are gone, and the man who appears to be her captor, Eadric Grey, is certainly not human. Grey tells Mina she is an immortal, something more than alive but closer to death than she could imagine, blessed with the gifts of strength, speed, and life everlasting, but cursed with an unquenchable thirst for blood. Mina’s distress only grows when Grey reveals that Mina’s Maker, Emyr, must pay for his crimes against the rest of their kind. But who is she to Emyr? Why did he make her? She only knows that Emyr will not leave without finishing what he started. Is Mina herself a target? As she battles growing bloodlust and fractured memories, Mina is drawn to Grey—the very immortal sworn to capture her Maker by any means necessary. In a world where power is in blood, Mina must decide who she is and what she is willing to become in order to find her friends.
Set in the gothic city of Prague, The Shape of Night is a dark vampire romance novel and the first installment in the Blood Heir series. Filled with gothic settings, mysteries of forgotten memories, and plenty of spicy scenes, this vampire novel is sure to delight fans of Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles and girls who read the Twilight Saga in their teens and are ready to dive back into the world of vampires in adulthood. The Shape of Night gives well deserved nods to pillars of vampire fiction such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla.

About Geminid Publishing
One day not unlike any other, the Greek sun god Helios' son took the reins of his father's chariot, piloting the sun in a celestial journey around the world. As he lost control, freezing and burning the surface, Zeus struck him down, sending young Phaethon crashing down into the Earth. While that story is just a myth, to this day a distant asteroid with the same name continues to circle the sun in our solar system. Each December, pieces of it fall towards Earth in the Geminid Meteor Shower, repeating the myth told long ago again and again.
