A member of the Platt family has always served the Avedons as Housemistress. until now. Only a handful of people live at Avedon Hill, and most are suspects. Arames Kragen, retired Aarronic Advisor and scholar of prophecy, arrives at the gates of Avedon Hill, hoping to gain access to the mountain pass. Lord Avedon is not in a giving mood, however.

Mr Holyfield - I have seen your book on Podiobooks for quite awhile now and finally got around to listening. I normally don't like vampire books as they are very dark - I don't like dark stories. However the mystery got me hooked - I love mysteries and before long I couldn't stop listening. I listen while at work and was very anxious to go back so I could finish!! Several things - the narration was awesome especially with the various reader voices and the narration voice in between. I cannot express how great this sounded. Everyone spoke very clearly and paused when needed to add to character drama. Loved it! The sound track was very professional, clear & level. I did not need to adjust my volume to hear the spoken word or turn it down to avoid the blast of music. The background sounds were fabulous and really enhanced the storyline. This was an excellent mystery and I look forward to more writings from you. This is a book one should not start until the last chapter is written as the mystery is so intriging one gets angry waiting for more. I would recommend this book with the different slant on the vampire to anyone. I am very happy I listened as I was ready to quit as soon as I heard 'vampire'. But the way they were portrayed made it easier to listen to. Besides the focus was on the mystery and the heroes - whom I came to like very much. Keep up the awesome work.

I have just completed listening to your presentation, Mr Holyfield, and I have to say I found it easy listening. I enjoyed every aspect of it and was most disappointed when it completed! Congratulations.

This story has taught me to wait untill a podiobook is completed before I start listening! I started listening late last year and quickly caught up, then found myself jonsing for the next episode, sometimes they were quite some time apart. This story is so engrossing, so enthralling I had trouble waiting between episodes. I found myself checking my podcatcher several times a day just incase there had been another put up! Next time I won't do that to myself, I will wait for a book to be completed. When you come across a book as good as this one the suspense will just kill you.
