In the thrilling conclusion of the Drake Chronicles, love and loyalties will be tested ... and proven once and for all.
Solange Drake has been officially crowned Queen of the Vampires, fulfilling the centuries old prophecy that foretold the rise to power of a daughter born to an ancient vampire line. Except Solange's thoughts and actions are no longer her own—she's been slowly being possessed by the spirit of Viola, the first daughter born into the Drake line, since her bloodchange. And instead of uniting the vampire tribes under the rule of an ancient daughter as the prophecy predicted, Viola would rather destroy them all and enslave humans in a personal vendetta for the devastation both wrought to her life centuries ago. Can Solange break her hold in time to save everyone she loves from a vampire civil war, hunter attack, and each other? Not everyone will survive the prophecy . . . perhaps not even her.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
ALYXANDRA HARVEY is the author of The Drake Chronicles—Hearts at Stake, Blood Feud, Out for Blood, and Bleeding Hearts—as well as two stand-alone novels, Haunting Violet and Stolen Away.
Alyxandra Harvey lives in a stone Victorian house in Ontario, Canada with a few resident ghosts who are allowed to stay as long as they keep company manners. She loves medieval dresses, used to be able to recite all of The Lady of Shalott by Tennyson, and has been accused, more than once, of being born in the wrong century. She believes this to be mostly true except for the fact that she really likes running water, women’s rights, and ice cream.
Among her favourite books are ‘The Wood Wife’ by Terri Windling, ‘Jane Eyre’ by Charlotte Bronte, and of course, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austen. Elizabeth Bennet is her hero because she’s smart and sassy, and Mr. Darcy is, well, yum.
Aside from the ghosts, she also lives with husband and their dogs. She likes cinnamon lattes, tattoos and books.

THE BOOKISH DAME REVIEWS :
I became an instant fan of Ms Harvey's books when I ran into "Stolen Away" a couple of years ago. I've had to back track to read about the Drake Chronicles and have loved every single word and story about them since then. "Blood Prophecy" is just a continuation of the story...and I was greedy about it, frankly.
There's nothing new to add about my addiction to the series. I find Alyxandra Harvey a queen of vampire writing and one who crosses the lines between YA and adult fiction very well. Although for the most part her characters are teens and young adults, there are enough adult vampires intervening in their lives to keep things very interesting...especially in this book.
Ms Harvey has a very compelling imagination. I love her work and would read just about anything she writes.
I highly recommend this series. It's not rocket science...but that makes it easy, good reading as far as I'm concerned. You won't be sorry you've discovered her once you read one of her books. This one is well worth the read.
5 stars for a great vampire series Deborah/TheBookishDame
