Fernan & Matilda

Excerpt of the fiction romantic novel Fernan & Matilda, sequel to Deon the Vampire: 

A new era had been born, called ‘the Renaissance’ by current historians, after the dark times had finished.

It was during the 16th century when a group of immortal blood suckers met at a town at the outskirts of the capital of Spain and decided to mitigate their loneliness by creating a clan simply called ‘the Family’. The immortals inhabited a palace and acquired false identities to be among humans, disguising themselves as characters of nobility. They performed balls and parties, collaborated with charity organizations, went out at night in their carriages, had visitors over and even one of them had created an academy inside the palace. They hunted through all of Europe, leaving corpses to turn into carcasses laying in the streets or floating on rivers. They were rich and had a life full of luxuries thanks to their victims and, with their supernatural abilities, there was nowhere they couldn’t go.

During those times, Claudio, the blue-eyed blond Maltese, enjoyed instructing mortal and immortal youngsters, since in that new era the popular philosophy was ‘the power is knowledge’. He ended up adopting the boys Roman and Fernan Adria. This is the story of one of them and his dear Matilda.
