What happens when a witch accidentally drains an entire clan of vampires with one tiny spell? It just might start a war between the Boston Clan of Vampires and Salem Witches. Harlow's tired of being cursed. She's cursed as a witch with little power. She's cursed by Mother Nature, and most of all, she's cursed as the worst witch of her entire coven. She just wants one freaking day of peace. One. Is that too much to ask? Emilio's the boss of the Boston Vampire Clan, and he's pissed. He's got one mission: find the little witch who almost offed his whole family-and kill her. He doesn't care if it starts a war with the witches. Emilio's already got blood on his hands-what's a little more? But when he meets Harlow, he feels a spark, and it's not freaking magic. What's he supposed to do? There's only one thing, and she ain't gonna like it. What do they say about best-laid plans? Yeah, they never pan out. Let the games begin in this somewhat comedic, mafia, dark and steamy paranormal romance with a twist!

Santos Olaru is a seasoned vampire-warrior and an unforgiving mercenary who protects the descendants of Jadon against all enemies, preternatural or human. He is also a whiz with technology and computers – a virtual ghost in any machine – who uses his unique set of talents to make problems disappear. Until now, Natalia Giovanni has flown beneath his radar, even though she has been following him through cyberspace for years… As the only child of a billionaire whose criminal empire spans human trafficking, generational slavery, and forced prostitution, the beautiful human female has been a prisoner all her life: She has been sheltered, threatened, and exploited by her father to make his dark, seedy business appear legitimate. Unbeknownst to Natalia and her father, she has also been promised in marriage to a brutal vampire: a Dark One in the house of Jaegar who intends to use the stunning brunette to breed a son—and a sacrifice—for a soulless colony. When Natalia hacks into Santos’ computer and places an end-around chat box on the warrior’s screen, she unwittingly spins a sticky web…and invites the spider in. A powerful curse is set into motion; a primordial hourglass bleeds sand; and an ancient Blood Moon beckons two unlikely players to a deadly game of love and chance.

The Curse of Eve, the Wound of the Hero
Author: Peggy McCracken
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812202759
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
In The Curse of Eve, the Wound of the Hero, Peggy McCracken explores the role of blood symbolism in establishing and maintaining the sex-gender systems of medieval culture. Reading a variety of literary texts in relation to historical, medical, and religious discourses about blood, and in the context of anthropological and religious studies, McCracken offers a provocative examination of the ways gendered cultural values were mapped onto blood in the Middle Ages. As McCracken demonstrates, blood is gendered when that of men is prized in stories about battle and that of women is excluded from the public arena in which social and political hierarchies are contested and defined through chivalric contest. In her examination of the conceptualization of familial relationships, she uncovers the privileges that are grounded in gendered definitions of blood relationships. She shows that in narratives about sacrifice a father's relationship to his son is described as a shared blood, whereas texts about women accused of giving birth to monstrous children define the mother's contribution to conception in terms of corrupted, often menstrual blood. Turning to fictional representations of bloody martyrdom and of eucharistic ritual, McCracken juxtaposes the blood of the wounded guardian of the grail with that of Christ and suggests that the blood from the grail king's wound is characterized in opposition to that of women and Jewish men. Drawing on a range of French and other literary texts, McCracken shows how the dominant ideas about blood in medieval culture point to ways of seeing modern values associated with blood in a new light, and how modern representations in turn suggest new perspectives on medieval perceptions.
