About this series
"DeWees is a Gothic voice for the modern age, where women are not hapless but heroic."
—Leanna Renee Hieber, award-winning author of Strangely Beautiful and The Spectral City
In the late nineteenth century, a vampire did not always take the form of a nightmarish ghoul. Rather, it might come in the guise of a pleasure-loving woman of independent means, an enigmatic aristocrat, or even a woman afire with righteous wrath. Enter the world of the Victorian Vampires series, where award-winning author Amanda DeWees takes you on a journey rife with mystery, romance, and the unexpected. Here, for the first time, all three novellas in the series are gathered together in one set.
As Vital as Blood
When poor but plucky Englishwoman Michael Cargrave travels to the Carpathian Mountains to catalogue the library of a mysterious baron, she stumbles into danger and romance.
As Strong as Earth
Vivacious vampire Bianca leads a carefree existence until she falls in love with Ned Alter, a mortal man who is already engaged—and whose family are vampire hunters.
As Fierce as Flame
Impetuous Rosamond Cargrave rebels against the proper path for a young lady, unaware that the legendary vampire Wulfgar is gathering all his kindred in London—and one of them is particularly close to Rosamond.
Once you've read one, you won't want to miss a single volume in the Victorian Vampires series!

"Deftly blends classic vampire lore with Gothic romance, mystery, and thrills." --Dacre Stoker, author, great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker In 1881, an innocent young Englishwoman who ventures into mysterious Baron Dalca's Romanian castle may lose her life, her soul...or her heart. Miss Michael Cargrave is desperate when the death of her bookseller father leaves her in a dire financial state. When she finds a letter from a mysterious foreign aristocrat, Baron Dalca, requesting that her father come work for him, she decides to risk everything by traveling to the Carpathian Mountains and claiming the position herself. Vasile, Baron Dalca, expected an elderly gentleman scholar. Instead he finds on his doorstep a vibrant, courageous young woman who stirs him in a way that no woman has since the long-ago death of his wife. But for her sake, he can't fall in love. He can bring nothing but danger to Michael Cargrave. As Vital as Blood combines gothic suspense with a haunting love story in the exciting setting of the Carpathian Mountains. And be sure not to miss the next Victorian Vampires novella, As Strong as Earth, in which carefree vampire Bianca travels to Bath, England, and becomes entangled with Ned Alter, a mortal whose family has a legacy of hunting vampires.

"DeWees possesses a mastery of the Gothic. She draws a distinct lineage from the classics while making new worlds fresh and enthralling." —Leanna Renee Hieber, award-winning author of Strangely Beautiful and The Spectral City Book 2 in the Victorian Vampires novella series by the author of the Daphne Award-winning gothic romance With This Curse. Just as Ned Alter leaves the British army to marry the lovely Rosamond Cargrave, his father and uncle inform him that he has a new mission--as a vampire hunter. Ever since Ned's grandmother was bitten decades ago, the Alter men have sought revenge. But soon Ned's loyalty is tested by a beautiful woman named Bianca, who claims to be a vampire...and therefore the enemy of his family. Carefree vampire Bianca had no intention of seducing another woman's fiancé, especially when he's a mortal. Yet she and Ned share a passionate connection. Can Bianca convince him that she is not his enemy--and can he convince her that a mortal and a vampire can find happiness together? A love triangle, revenge, and undying evil collide in this unforgettable vampire yarn of about 100 pages, laced with rich period atmosphere and Amanda DeWees's sly humor. And be sure not to miss the other novellas in the Victorian Vampires series, As Vital as Blood and As Fierce as Flame!

Jilted by her fiancée, Ned Alter, impetuous Rosamond Cargrave takes the drastic action of becoming a vampire. To her exasperation, Ned—now revealed to be a dhampir, or daywalker—demands that she join him and his glamorous vampire mistress, Bianca, on their journey to London to meet up with Wulfgar, a vampire of great power. Wulfgar is gathering his kindred in London with an ambitious plan in mind. Among those ready to help him in his endeavor are Vasile, Baron Dalca, newly arrived from his castle in Romania, and his recently turned bride, Michael Cargrave. Michael is adjusting poorly to being a vampire, and she has no idea her little sister has also made the transformation recently. Together with Bianca's former lover, the mysterious Berengar, and vampire scholar Ignatius Crow, all will encounter the unexpected when they are thrown together.
