The Progeny (Descendants of the House of Bathory, Bk. 1)

Twenty-one-year-old Emily Porter has just started over in small-town Maine. Her existence is simple but quiet - until the day a stranger tells her she's special: a direct descendant of the infamous "Blood Countess" Elizabeth Bathory. That her real name is Audra and she has the ability to influence the minds of others. That her memory can be stolen, used as a weapon against others of her kind . . .

And that she's being hunted.

On the run with a man she doesn't know if she can trust, Audra flees to Europe, where she is thrust back into the web of deceit and ancient conspiracy she tried to leave behind. Now the only thing that can save her is piecing together her past . . . and the powerful secret she erased from her memory to protect.

A kaleidoscopic thriller, The Progeny is a taut, breathless story of centuries-old intrigue, modern love, and the search for self.
