NEW RELEASE: Blood Alchemy by Kurt Newton

 

Possession... Obsession... Unnatural Desire...

A children's book illustrator. A rescued dog.

An alchemist with a dark secret.

Two lovers separated by thousands of years.

Past and present collide.

 

Alison is a children's book illustrator. With a deadline looming, and her husband away on a job assignment, Alison adopts a male dog from the local animal shelter for creative inspiration. Soon afterward, Alison is visited by erotic dreams of Khalid—an alchemist with a dark secret—and in these dreams, Alison is Sahlah, his wife.

A novel of romance and terror about two lovers separated by a thousand years, brought together by a dark force that's waited centuries to live and breathe… combining past with present, dreams with nightmares, and fate with circumstance to create a harrowing tale of possession, obsession, and unnatural desire.
