A Conclave of Crimson Book One

2024

What do you do when love threatens to destroy? A rare invitation takes master vampire, Clove, and his young charges, Gabriel, Moth and Teal, to Paris. A gilded, sixteenth-century manor house is a far cry from their home on the isolated, English moors. A French vampire, Vauquelin, will be their host, along with his new progeny/lover, Éric. The difference in vampire bloodlines is soon very apparent, and a rivalry ignites between Moth and Éric. Moth’s appraisal of Éric can be summed up in two letters—F and U. An evening hunt for the boys goes catastrophically wrong as an attraction surfaces between Éric and Teal. Neither of them know how to process it. Éric is devoted to Vauquelin… and Teal navigates feelings he thought he would never have. But this spark does not want to die, even though it has no hope of life: and soon Éric’s relationship with Vauquelin is endangered as they both grapple to understand what’s unfolding. For Gabriel and Moth a devastating truth takes form—that Teal may need more than them. And it’s up to Gabriel to try and stop Moth self-combusting—no easy task even with his cursed lineage. Vauquelin battles against his emotions, laying bare his deepest fears to Clove. As their lives spiral out of control, Clove and Vauquelin must take matters into their own hands: but is this a flame even master vampires cannot quench? With lush prose, vivid, emotional moments and richly detailed intimate scenes, these vampires will take you on a journey where high passions lead to even higher stakes. A Conclave of Crimson: Book One is a Gothic, queer, horror romance with strong, dark academia vibes: the first volume of a trilogy uniting two, literary vampire worlds (Gabriel Davenport and Beguiled by Night) into a multiverse, but can be read as a standalone. There’s more if you want it… For fans of The Night Circus, Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, and The Song of Achilles, A Conclave of Crimson offers a unique character driven exploration of love, jealousy, and the dark magnetism of immortal desire.

A Conclave of Crimson Book Two

2024

What price are you willing to pay for love? Book Two of A Conclave of Crimson: A Queer Vampire Romance picks up where Book One ends and runs with it. In the ancient, shadowed corners of Paris, seven vampires must dissect a multitude of shocking revelations. Teal and Eric’s relationship blossoms quickly, disrupting the lives of everyone around them. A false assumption about Teal—and Eric’s part in it—leads to a rare argument between Gabe and Moth, and Moth’s hatred for Éric explodes. Both Vauquelin and Moth struggle with their new realities: Moth is panic-stricken at the thought of losing Teal and Vauquelin is terrified by the possibility of his connection to Eric being severed. Vauquelin makes a demand that threatens to derail the immortal kinship that has been forged during this gathering. He exposes his long-buried darkness, and at last begins to acknowledge himself as a master vampire, a protector. Rumours begin to surface on the Bloodvyne, the mental-linked consciousness between vampires of a certain bloodline, about the Bloody Little Prophets (Gabriel, Moth and Teal) fracturing; Gabriel makes a dangerous decision to quell them. All must come to terms with their drastically altered existences. But what if Teal—the quiet, vulnerable one they always vowed to protect—is the one who wields the power over them all?
