| Summary |
"The architectural talents and desirable connections of the Danish Grand Duke, Christopher Vita, granted him the golden opportunity of travelling to Paris, France, to make part of history along with Eiffel & Co's work team, bringing with him his only daughter, Beatrice Vita; an angelic girl with her blue eyes and golden curls that combine perfectly with her feminine charms. With a vision that differs from the norm set by society at the time, Beatrice is eager to forge a career as a poetry writer, and determined to leave constraints behind in her native country of Denmark. The idyllic setting of Paris becomes more personal when she meets one of the Eiffel project's investors: Count Francis Yannic; a man shrouded with an aura of mystery that captivates the attention of all who know him. A politician skilled in diplomacy, he is able to convince one to think his way with just a gleam of his sapphire-like blue eyes. After allowing herself to be seduced by his charms and facing the fear of expressing her true way of thinking to her father, Beatrice escapes with Yannic to a place where she will discover that some mysteries hide not entirely good intentions; she will also understand that parental overprotection and suspicion, while seemingly unjustified, are more often than not accurate hunches. This is a journey that will take us to the heart of 1884 Paris, where a girl tries to make understood at home the value of autonomy and of women, in a society opposed to accept the importance of these things; a tale of individual thinking and how it is able to change the world in the blink of an eye. Revenge and romance mingle with a touch of supernatural mysticism to endow Blood Slave with a charming aura, with characters and places that will always have a secret to hide."-- Provided by Freading. |
