Description
The Count Saint-Germain is a figure of mystery and intrigue. For centuries, he has walked among royalty and nobility, bringing passion and adventure to his encounters. In Darker Jewels, Yarbro reveals a pivotal chapter in the immortal existence of this enigmatic being. In 16th-century Russia, Ivan IV's descent into madness sets off a chain reaction of violence and superstition. As the Russian court teeters on the brink of chaos, King Stephan Bathory sends his envoy, the Count Saint-Germain, to negotiate with the troubled ruler. But what this ageless vampire finds in old Moscovy is not what he expects: love and passion with a beautiful woman named Xenya. As tensions rise and allegiances are tested, Saint-Germain must use his alchemical skills and infinite experience to navigate the treacherous undercurrents of Ivan's court. A tale of intrigue, superstition, and forbidden love, Darker Jewels is a gripping narrative that explores the complexities of human nature.
