5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Twilight-Saga!, April 13, 2013
Verified Purchase(What's

This review is from: The Dracula
Chronicles: Bound By Blood - Volume 1 (Kindle Edition)
Bound by Blood by Shane K.P. O'Neill is a very well
written story with a natural flow that's evident that the author has found his
"voice" - something many authors envy. I have no doubt that O'Neill's
enthusiasm in the vampire genre reflects throughout the entire story.
The vampire genre with blood-suckers is a subject that has been written over and over again, and still there are a few authors such as Stephanie Mayor, Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro that manages to come up with a new interesting "niche" in this gender. Well now there is another author that can join in that group and that is Shane K.P. O'Neill. Just like the Twilight Saga and The Strain (Trilogy), O'Neill has managed to do the unthinkable. He has found a new angle and twist.
WARNING SPOILER - What really made me fall for this story is that O'Neill introduced a new concept in the vampire genre with a focus on Dracula; He has two sons...are they good or evil? Well that you have to find out yourself.
The character development and the setting are very well written.
From the beginning to the end the entire story will keep you on your toes!
For any vampire enthusiast this story is a must!

Book Blurb
The Dracula Chronicles is the brilliant and terrifying new concept of
Dracula. It is an epic journey through the ages where the forces of Light and
Darkness struggle for supremacy until the Second Great War, as foretold in the
Book of Revelations. This bitter feud began after the creation of mankind.
Lucifer’s jealousy leads to the First Great War of the angels. Hundreds of
thousands of years on the feud simmers beneath the surface. It plots the course
of history as we know it today. Both sides manipulate the major players through
the centuries to seek an advantage over the other. On a cold night in December
1431 in Sighisoara an old gypsy woman delivers a prophecy to the great Vlad
Dracul. She tells him he is about to sire two sons, one an angel and the other
a devil. He returns to his fortress just as his wife bears him a son, whom he
names Vlad. In the very same moment across the country on the border between
Transylvania and Hungary a gypsy girl gives birth to another son, Andrei. The
die is cast. The twin souls are born. The young Vlad Dracula becomes the
instrument of the forces of Darkness. To balance this, the baby Andrei is
blessed by the angels and bestowed with awesome powers.These chronicles are
their story.
As his moment of death looms Dracula suffers the ultimate betrayal. The champion of the Catholic faith in Eastern Europe realises it is Lucifer who is coming to claim him. However, Lucifer does not want his soul. Instead he bites into Dracula's neck and then offers his own blood to drink. Dracula suffers his mortal death. But he re-awakens. Immortalised with Lucifer's blood coursing through his veins, the two are bound by blood for eternity. But Lucifer has groomed him for this day. He lays out the task before him. Dracula is to destroy the institution of that which he has championed for so long. By bringing down the Catholic Church he can undo the Crucifixion and turn man against God once more. If he succeeds then Lucifer will ascend again to Heaven and signal the end for all mankind.
