Michael Schiefelbein's two previous novels -- Vampire Vow and Vampire Thrall -- have garnered him a wide following. Now, with Vampire Transgression, he brings the story begun in Vampire Vow to new heights, revealing hitherto unseen complexities in the twilight world of the undead. Victor Decimus is a two thousand year old vampire, having last seen the sun when he was a Roman soldier posted to Nazareth at the time of Christ. There are few rules that govern a vampire's existence but those rules are absolute: 1) Vampires are not allowed to associate with other vampires and 2) Once a vampire convinces a human to take his place as a vampire, he must leave the earthly realm for the Dark Kingdom. Now Victor has broken both rules -- he's sired his human lover Paul as a vampire and stayed behind with him on earth as his lover. The two enjoy an intense life as vampire lovers, living in Georgetown and mingling at their private nightclub where little is forbidden. But their transgression is not taken lightly and agents for the Dark Realm are now on the prowl, looking to enforce the rules and, if necessary, punish Paul and Victor by threatening all that remains precious to them.
