When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayer (Oscar Wilde)
She wanted to travel through time. She didn't expect to lose her soul in the process.
Guided by her mentor and the yellowed pages of a forgotten grimoire, Serena finds herself in 1243 at the heart of the Siege of Montségur, in a 13th century ravaged by the Crusade against the Cathars, where an unshakable faith is preparing to burn under the assault of the Inquisition.
Among the besieged, she discovers a truth more disturbing than any legend: Bleda, a tormented vampire, neither monster nor hero, but a being of flesh, doubt... and suffering.
On the smouldering ashes of the pyre that engulfed the last Believers, Serena returns to the future, imprisoned of unalterable memories and changed forever.
Between forbidden love, religious persecution and a vampiric curse, Serena must challenge the boundaries between the human and the supernatural.
Vampires without clichés, a thrilling dive into the heart of darkness and history. From the Inquisition to the skyscrapers of New York, from the flames of Chicago to the shadows of Venice and Paris, Sanguis Temporis unfolds a spellbinding psychological fresco. Welcome to a saga that blends historical erudition, daring fantasy and introspection.
G DELORD dares to use a rich literary style that goes against the grain, timeless and haunting, inviting you to on a breathless journey through time, in the manner of ancient forgotten tales.
Forget everything you think you know about vampires
Forget easy love.
Here, the price of time travel is memory. No one comes out unscathed.
Dark and luminous at the same time, Sanguis Temporis is an extraordinary novel for lovers of powerful stories.
