Please welcome Sara Curran-Ross!
It is a cold morning in January when I
visit the human hybrid vampire, The Knight Of Swords at his ancestral home, Keeley Park
in the Hertfordshire countryside. Snow
lies thickly around the large picturesque home built in the sixteenth century
and across the vast beautiful Parkland
containing a herd of wild deer.
Somewhere in the distance, the eerie call of peacocks can be heard
coming from the grounds as we sit by a large roaring fire in the drawing room. It crackles and hisses warmth as we talk
about light topics. I am quietly pacing
myself before I ask the important questions about his past and the sudden
increase in the female hybrid slave trade.
The Knight Of Swords or to refer to his
human title, Lord Nathan Valancourt is not a man or more importantly, a vampire
to be crossed. He sits before me in a
red leather armchair dressed immaculately in a black Armani business suit with
a silk silver grey tie. At 6”3 inches he
owns a formidable sense of presence. Nathan’s
striking dark good looks and sleek black hair worn long at his neck frame his
piercing blue eyes to perfection. They
easily captivate your attention holding you his willing prisoner. And boy does he know the effect he is having on
you. Nathan Valancourt is very aware of
his powerful affect on women and how he may exploit it to his advantage. It is the type of arrogance that makes you
want to slap him but adore him for it all at the same time. It is no surprise that back in the nineteenth
century before he made the change from human to hybrid Taleian vampire he was
in his own words, a ‘womaniser’.
