An all new Vampire Novel set in Melbourne by Juliet Peniston-Bird Synopsis Sentenced to ‘death by sunlight’ for the murder of vampire Desiderius, vampires Philemon and Caleb miraculously survive the sunlight! This weakness that has plagued the vampire species since the dawn of their evolution has now gone. Why? How? And are they the only ones immune to the effects of sunlight? In their quest for answers, Philemon and Caleb embark on a dangerous journey of seduction and self-exploration, while trying to avoid getting caught and killed by the vampire police: the Raziels; a secret branch of the Australian Government; the Draconian vampire slayers and even their own kind! In blending Bram Stoker and Anne Rice with the human reality of Jules Verne, Juliet Peniston-Bird has ‘revamped’ the vampire to appeal to the masses, by allowing these ‘not quite humans’ to share in a reality common with humankind, as well as forming an Australian vampire mythology, from the founding vampire fathers through to their current laws and etiquette.
