(  ) amarynt | Dec 6, 2008 |  A very interesting book. I haven't been that interested in historicals lately, but this one was set around the turn of the century and featured some history from the mid-1100's an era of time I am interested in. It had some of the elements of the Templars who I find fascinating and also vampires which I enjoy reading. This was a sweet and sexy book. Pru is dying of cancer and wants to find the Holy Grail in hopes of prolonging her life. When this quest brings here close, Chapel becomes part of the story. Chapel was turned to a vampire a long time ago when he drank from what he thought was the Holy Grail, but was instead the Unholy Grail. He has now vowed to protect others from drinking from this. In this book we get brief introductions to the other brothers in the brotherhood of the blood, just enought to whet our appetite, but this book is mainly about Chapel and Pru and Pru's family. A very engaging book that I am glad I read ( ) reading_crystal | Mar 24, 2008 | Chapel is a centuries old vampire, who was turned into one by drinking from the Blood Grail believing it to be the Holy Grail.

I am called Chapel . . .
For nearly six centuries I have roamed the night, a mortal man no longer. Would that I could undo the past -- when I entered the sanctuary of the Knights Templar to wrest from them the Holy Grail, only to discover the chalice I raised to my lips was not the sacred relic but a hellish cup of damnation. Now I shun the day and all things human, driven by an ungodly thirst. And yet...
Never have I known a maiden the like of Prudence Ryland, whose beauty and spirit awaken a heart I feared long cold and dead. But her young life is slipping away, and she also seeks the deliverance of the Grail -- unaware that the cost of her search could be her soul. I must help Prudence, for in six hundred years, no other woman has stirred my passions so. But dare I tender to my beloved that which she most desires -- the sensuous "gift" of forever that is both rapture and a curse: my immortal kiss?
