Blood Triad

Blood Triad is a must-read for fans of vampire fiction and historical fantasy, especially those who value meticulously researched narratives that deliver immersive world-building, nuanced character dynamics and diverse perspectives, and thought-provoking explorations of love and resilience. — Booklife by Publisher's Weekly

Blood Triad sweeps readers across eras and locations, from the ancient Norsemen and Picts of the 900s, to the turbulent colonial history of Haiti, to Prohibition-era Philadelphia, infusing each of these periods with her unique vampiric lore. Belasco's action scenes are brisk, and her carefully-researched characters are memorable. Her vampires are so much more than the violence of their history-within their bloody hearts, they retain their humanity. - Tara Campbell, author of City of Dancing Gargoyles and TreeVolution

BLOOD TRIAD is a collection of three novellas from the Blood & Ancient Scrolls series by Raven Belasco, giving a more intimate view into the lives of some of the am'r (the vampires' name for themselves) that readers have met along the way. Standalone novellas, each story can be enjoyed without having previously read any of the series.

TEETH ARE BONES is set after the events of Blood Ad Infinitum. Librarian Anushka "Noosh" Rossetti finds herself on a yacht with Zoraida, a mysterious am'r she admires but barely knows. To pass the time, Zoraida confides the story of her life first as a human and then an am'r, through the bloody events of the Haitian Revolution through the U.S. Occupation of Haiti, profound love and devastating loss made only more intense by the passion of a vampire's heart.

In BLOOD BROTHERS, Noosh finally gets Wulfhram and Dubhghall to confide in her the tale of their centuries-long-partnership. Meeting in opposing sides of a battle in the A.D. 900s, the two men take an unlikely path to both the am'r life and to a lasting love, fighting together as mercenaries across Europe and the Middle East in the last century of the first millennium before nearly losing each other in their calamitous transformation into am'r.

ABYSSINIA is a story from the life of Astryiah, a powerful and important am'r. Set in 1930's Philadelphia, Palmina is working at the Nabisco factory...and helping women who are "in a fix." Palmina is feeling run down by all the pressures in her life...until a striking, mysterious woman shows up to change her life in astonishing, sensual, and dangerous ways. Palmina is confronted by the seductive power of the am'r world. Will she choose to join the am'r for strength, autonomy, and eternal life...or will she choose to stay in the human world, helping those in need?
