Жанр: Темное фэнтези, Готический роман, Ужасы и Приключения
Об авторе:
Тесса Доун выросла в Колорадо, Среди скалистых гор, и потому всегда чувствует глубокое родство с ними. После окончания учебы со степенью по психологии, Тесса Доун начала работать в сфере уголовного правосудия и психического здоровья. И только через некоторое время решила получить степени Магистра в области Некоммерческого Управления.
Тесса начала писать еще в детстве и сочинила свой первый, полнометражный роман в возрасте одиннадцати лет. К тому времени, как она закончила среднюю школу, ящик в ее столе был забит короткими рассказами и книгами. С тех пор она опубликовала множество произведений и работала в разных направлениях: писала поздравительные открытки, книги для детей аутистов, и учебные пособия. Серия Кровавое Проклятье ознаменовала ее долгожданное возвращение к жанру дарк фэнтези, в мир вампиров.
В настоящее время Тесса живет в пригороде Колорадо с мужем, двумя детьми, и «одним очень сумасшедшим котом».
Серия Кровавое Проклятье:
1. Кровавая судьба
Он смертоносный вампир, связанный древним проклятием.
Она агент отдела внутренней безопасности, который расследует серию страшных оккультных убийств.
Их соединит Кровавая судьба.
Потомок Небесных Богов и людей, Натаниэль Силивази, красивый, соблазнительный, могущественный и опасный вампир. Он принадлежит к древнему народу, который приносил своих женщин в жертву, доведя их до вымирания, и потому проклят. Как и все сыновья Джейдона, он не способен иметь дочерей и своего сына, первенца, должен принести в жертву во имя искупления грехов своих предков. Живя в современном мире, он все еще вынужден подчиняться первобытным законам.
Наткнувшись на Натаниэля в нетронутой горной долине, Джослин Леви окажется не готовой к столкновению двух миров и к событиям, которые за этим последуют. Как агент отдела внутренней безопасности, красивая и дерзкая женщина преследует свою цель: остановить ритуальные убийства невинных молодых женщин организацией, занимающейся торговлей людьми. Она и не догадывается, что зло, за которым она охотится, не похоже ни на одно другое, с которым ей приходилось сталкиваться до сих пор. Она попадает в мир воинов, загадок и тайн, где хищники делятся только на свет и тьму, а темный красивый незнакомец, который пришел к ней на помощь, оказывается самым опасным из всех.
2. Кровавое пробуждение
Опасная игра.
Вокруг трёх ничего не подозревающих душ: древнего вампира, таинственной женщины и человека, воспитанного улицами - жизнь, кровь и смерть объединяются в треугольник. Прежде чем всё закончится, каждый из них столкнется с Кровавым Пробуждением, внушающим страх.
Маркус Силивази безжалостный, суровый, непреклонный древний вампир. Его темного близнеца принесли в жертву, родителей преследовали и убили, а душу, которую он поклялся защищать, уничтожили злейшие враги. Незнакомка, с загадочным прошлым, появившаяся в Лунной Долине, запускает цепь странных событий, пробуждая спящую долину и Кровавое проклятие.
Связанные друг с другом древним законом, они должны пройти свой путь через лабиринт опасностей, обмана и перипетий судьбы. В этом безжалостном мире им придется противостоять Кровавому Пробуждению, чтобы выжить.

Nachari Silivasi is a bright light in a Dark World. As the youngest vampire in a family of warriors, he has studied Magick for four-hundred years and acquired a rare mastery of the universe around him. He is beloved by his family; legendary for his good-looks; and known for his uncommon valor. Unfortunately, he has just made the ultimate sacrifice – he has traded his immortal life for the life of the Vampyr King.
Deanna Dubois is as talented as she is independent, but she has developed a strange and terrifying habit: Night after night, day after day, she sketches one horrifying scene after another -- the body of a gorgeous male being tortured in hell by demons. Disturbed by her ever growing obsession, she sets out to Dark Moon Vale to uncover the truth. Only, what she finds is a web of danger, destruction, and deceit.
Separated by space and time, yet drawn together by fate, Nachari and Deanna find themselves in an epic battle against evil: Nachari is forced to forge a path in a world of shadows, where torture and lust rule the night; while Deanna struggles to decide between two polar opposites – to flee from the truth or trade her mortal soul for the possibility of a stranger’s salvation.
5. Blood Redemption
Some souls are forged in fire. Some hearts are packed in ice.
Some elements were never meant to be combined... Blood Redemption ~ a journey of elemental darkness and primordial light.

Captured by the enemy, he is sentenced to execution by sunlight only to discover that his body will not burn - he isn't who he thought he was. He was stolen at birth. He was reared by the wrong house. And the sunlight isn't going to kill him because he does have a soul.
Vanya Demir is the very heart of goodness and light, an ancient female from a magical race, the progeny of humans and celestial deities before they were cursed by the Blood.

She is wholly unprepared to face a fire-breathing dragon. When their paths converge beneath a Serpens Blood Moon, they will each have thirty days to reconcile the irreconcilable, to confront the primordial darkness that threatens to destroy them both. Can a being lost in darkness for eight-hundred years ever find its way to the light? Can a heart that's been buried for as long as it can remember risk the ultimate in betrayal and damnation simply for the hope of blood redemption?
6. Blood Father
Kagen Silivasi is a powerful ancient vampire with a unique gift for healing – he is also a son, a brother, and a loner who has survived unspeakable tragedy and loss: Beneath his handsome, well-mannered exterior lies an alter ego consumed by rage and an undefinable impulse to “kill them all...”
Arielle Nightsong is a brave human, a rebel spirit, and an accomplished healer in her own right. Born into a harsh world of violence, cruelty, and danger, she was enslaved at the age of ten and given as a gift to the most depraved being in Mhier – the infamous king of the Lycan. If not for her enduring friendship with a captive vampire, she might not have survived to escape the slave encampment…or to discover her ominous role in an ancient Blood Curse.
When Kagen and his brothers journey into Mhier in search of their long lost father, it will take more than stealth and cunning to get out alive: Secrets will be revealed; loyalties will be tested; and long-standing defenses will fracture beneath the weight of an impossible choice...
7. Blood Vengeance
Ramsey Olaru is a bona fide bad-ass: a lethal vampire, a seasoned warrior, and a ruthless mercenary in the king’s Sentinel Guard. He’s accustomed to taking what he wants, ramrodding his way through obstacles, and silencing anything—or anyone—who gets in his way. So when his Gemini Blood Moon reveals Tiffany Matthews as his long-awaited destiny, he sets out to fulfill the demands of the Curse, claiming her as his own, swiftly and definitively.
Tiffany Matthews is as independent as she is savvy, and she knows more than she should about the volatile underworld of the Vampyr, the powerful, preternatural beings that dwell in Dark Moon Vale. She has carved out a peaceful, solitary place in a world filled with violence and fear, and she plans to keep it that way. The sassy human has no time for the brutal, unforgiving warrior—or his ominous Blood Moon.
Little do Tiffany and Ramsey know; they are not alone in this game of chance. Deep in the bowels of the Dark Ones’ Colony, an unforeseen evil is stirring: A demon-hearted vampire has finally found a kindred soul, a human female so deliciously evil, she shares his desire to destroy the innocent.
Before it’s over, the moon will bleed, the heart will break, and the soul will seek the ultimate solace: Blood Vengeance
8. Blood Ecstasy
Julien Lacusta is a troubled soul, born into tragic circumstances, and raised in a violent time. Despite being a Master Warrior in the house of Jadon, and one of the most elite trackers the Vampyr have ever seen, he is damaged to the core: tormented by endless shadows, haunted by unseen ghosts. And he knows—by all the celestial gods; he knows—that if he ever releases those demons, the beasts that lurk within, there will be hell, fire, and brimstone to pay.
The very earth will suffer.
Rebecca Johnston is fighting hellhounds of her own: a stalker who won’t let her go, an enemy she cannot defeat, a life that is no longer safe…or free. When she ventures into Dark Moon Vale to raise funds for a worthy cause, she has no idea that she is knocking on the door of fate. She has no idea that an ancient Blood Moon and an inescapable dark Curse are about to change her life.
Caught in a web of ever-increasing danger, the machinations of an ancient foe, and a burgeoning house of lies, Julien and Rebecca must summon their courage, face their fears head-on, and fight their way through the chemical allure of BLOOD ECSTASY.
