| book description |
Erotic, exotic: classic Clive Barker. Two great dynasties dominate modern America: the Geary family – possessors of a wealthy, powerful political empire founded on a history of corruption and criminality; and the Barbarossa family – elegant, beautiful, and not entirely human. This is a story of a young woman who enters the glittering Geary clan; and discovers the profound, dark enigma that lies at its heart. Raised in humble circumstances in North Carolina, Amy Honeycutt never dreamed she would marry anyone so glamorous, rich or wonderful as Mitchell Geary, one of America’s most eligible bachelors. But in the months that follow her fairytale wedding she comes to realize that the clan exists to hide a terrible secret: Galilee. Galilee – 200 years old and by no means human – was captured by the Gearys during the Civil War. Now he exists as their slave. It is not his sexual services (though they are remarkable) nor his powers as an assassin that will precipitate the downfall of the Geary empire, however: it is the passion he will come to share with Amy that will bring about an eruption of violence and horror that could devastate the Geary family’s Presidential ambitions for ever…
