{"product_id":"9781503560758","title":"Catherine's Boys","description":"\u003cp\u003eTime to correct the theory that Vlad Temps was Bram Stoker’s model for Dracula. Stoker’s vampire count was not even from Earth. Black Sorcerers like him visit us through the Middleground’s Gateways, portals that transport them throughout humankind’s history.  Some Midlanders come to Earth for sanctuary. Edoviov Alucard left the Middleground because Black Sorcerers would not tolerate vampires, even from a High family. When Sorcery’s Grand Wizard banished them, Edoviov took his sister Catherine and fled to Earth. He turned their High Sorcerer Name backward to become Stoker’s fiction, setting himself up as Lord of Vampires.  For Catherine, he had other plans. With two outlaw White Sorcerers, they entered into a pact to produce a Sorcerer strong enough (and Powerful enough) to take the Dark Throne. Since one of those Whites was the Middleground’s only Time Wizard, it was now on their side. With Dracula’s gypsies and his damned magician, they made Catherine bare living children by the gifted outlaws. In the distant past, Dracula stashed Catherine’s “family” in a small barony. They tried to prepare them, casting strange and hideous protections. But the best laid plans…  Other Sorcerers have an eye on that Dark Throne. Their plan requires they rip off the children. Can the boys escape the destinies that others have planned for them? Follow across time and space to America where they battle to live free and escape the minions of the Blacks. While Rip collects a vicious black stallion and pearl-handled 44’s, Andrè’s chief assets remain his quick wit and his hidden curse. Catherine’s boys cut a path through the Old South to Texas in the 1880’s, hoping to elude pursuit while they try to discover their abilities and stay alive long enough to learn what they are and where they belong.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145504145648,"sku":"9781503560758","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781503560758_p0.jpg?v=1763710232","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781503560758","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
