What if a fate worse than death offers the ultimate opportunity of a lifetime...for revenge? Roman Dvanaesti, one of the world's oldest vampires, will use anyone, including his children, to shape the world and control the mass of humanity his kind refers to as the herd. Yet hubris breeds carelessness, and Roman's missteps have not gone unnoticed by either his allies or his enemies. When the Illuminati, a secretive human cabal who've been waiting centuries for this moment, learn of Roman's vulnerability and the fracture of his bloodline, they move to strike. But not everyone in the organization believes the time is as ripe as others think. This chance at reprisal may tear the Illuminati apart. With his son, Cain, dead, or worse, in the hands of the Illuminati, Roman places his future in the hands of his daughter, Jacquelyn, whose brilliance is only surpassed by her ruthlessness. But can he trust her loyalty? Meanwhile, an evil the Ancients hoped they'd silenced forever stirs, its viciousness sharpened by a desire for retribution. Enemies are turning into allies. Predators are becoming prey. Enter Blood of the Fallen, the second installment in the Children of Cain trilogy by David R Bishop & J Scott Cordero, and discover just how life-changing revenge can be.
