A fantasy writer will go to the ends of the earth to win back the love of a man — even if it means awakening the oldest and most terrifying myth ever known.
But to conjure a power beyond the grave, Mera has to outsmart one of the world’s most elusive fugitives: a man doomed by a cursed Slavic bloodline, who disappeared thirty years ago. Now she needs to find him. And he has to teach her.
But if Mera wants to learn the science of magic, she has to be craftier and more cunning than any of the wise women who came before her.
She has to become a master manipulator, skilled in the art of deception and control.
And her performance has to be flawless as she acts her way towards the ultimate power — convincing enough to outwit everyone around her.
BLOODLINES carries the reader from the snow-covered forests of ancient Russia—steeped in myth—to Solitaire, a picturesque seaside village on South Africa’s Cape coast, drenched in sun and secrets. From Moscow, where Major Igor is closing in on an assassin who has eluded them for decades, to the misty Knysna Forest, where an inquisitive fantasy writer has set her sights on the enigmatic neighbour across the valley.
With an enchanted storybook, a magical pen, and Mera’s dangerous imagination, you are submerged in a world of magic and mischief, enchanted places and forgotten myths, where fairytales are not always fiction—and where achieving the impossible may just become the most dangerous thing of all.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
The Russian and His Personnel: Bloodlines has been republished under its new title, Mera Midnight: Bloodlines, and now forms Book One of the Mera Midnight Trilogy.
The story itself remains the same novel. The title was changed to place the focus where it belongs — on Mera Midnight and the world she is about to enter.
The original title, The Russian and His Personnel, is now the title of an origin story — the story of what happened to Andreev Yarkin and the people around him before he met Mera.
