‘Merchants of Blood,’ the Latest Title From D.A. Gilbert, Follows a Young Princess Thrust Into the Middle of a Mercantile War Between Vampire Aristocrats in the 1700s

Having previously published "A Serpent's Love" and "Persistence of the Damned," D.A. Gilbert is back with his third novel, a departure from the first two by diving into the world of historical romance. But keeping to his horror roots, this one still seeks to give readers the same frights and chills they experienced in the past. 

"Merchants of Blood" takes readers back into the mid-1700s, during a long series of conflicts with one wealthy family up top, making their trade in bottling blood to sell to the vampire aristocracy of Europe. Wrapped up in this is a young woman named Elizabetta, who gets pulled from the quiet comforts of her past life and is sent on a journey to the Vampire Ball, an event where she hopes to find her true father, the mysterious and deadly Count DeBienne.

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, "Merchants of Blood" puts a unique spin on stories in this same genre, offering readers everything from action to love and fright. Along with this dark journey through time, fans of Gilbert's work can also look forward to a sneak peek at his next work included with this novel. 

Readers looking to experience this chilling work can purchase "Merchants of Blood" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
