Plot introduction

Blood of Dreams is an erotically-charged story of obsession, betrayal and murder. Pleasure rules in eighteenth-century Venice, where any desire can be satisfied. But while hedonists delight in the decadence of Carnevale, a killer stalks his victims' dreams, believing he has found the answer to the most secret desire within us all - the desire to live forever.

Only one woman has the power to stop the slaughter. But as the killer draws closer, she uncovers a trail of sacrifice and deception leading back into her own past. To unmask the murderer she must set a trap with the power to destroy them both.
