Aaron Brownell's "Contention: A Sara Grey Tale"
POTSDAM, N.Y., May 27, 2010 — Follow a 17th-century vampire as she spans decades and travels from Crete, to London, to Boston, to the Vatican, in Contention: A Sara Grey Tale (published by iUniverse), the new fantasy novel by Aaron Brownell.
Sara Anne Grey is a vampire born in 1650s London. Contention opens to find Sara on Crete's dark and stormy coastline in the year 1760. Having exiled herself to the island to escape the eyes of man and slide back into the shadows, time has now healed some wounds and Sara thinks longingly of her beloved London.
After a brief trip to Boston, a young city which doesn't impress her very much, Sara heads to London in the same melancholy mood as before. She hasn't been back long when her presence alerts the Brenfield Society, a group whose job it is to monitor all occult activity. The Brenfield group is intent to take the amulet she wears, an ancient jewel with untold dark powers that is her most prized possession.
Sara is intrigued as to why the Brenfield Society has such a particular interest in her amulet, and her curiosity leads her to begin a quest to discover its mysterious origins. Her journey leads her to the Vatican, in Rome, where after her search, an informant sends her off to the area east of the Black Sea in search of Antonio, her vampire lover.
Follow Sara as she makes her way across the world all the way to New York, where the Brenfield Society is expanding under the direction of a new, more menacing successor. They have had enough of Sara's killing ways and will stop at nothing to capture her. Will she succeed in taking them down? Will Antonio be able to help her? Or will the wild streets of New York City threaten to run with blood? Find out in the compulsively readable pages of Contention: A Sara Grey Tale, a book that will keep fantasy lovers glued to the last page.
