Felipe de Hayos is a vampire cursed by Saturn's Priestess, his wife, to roam the Earth for five hundred and fifty years until the Eye of Saturn reopens. When he comes to Wallachia, he intends to use his vampire powers to help Vlad Dracula III defeat the Turkish Ottoman Empire. However, he instead orchestrates a daring deception by killing Prince Dracula and using his powers to disguise himself as Dracula. Sultan Mehmed II will stop at nothing to overthrow him and install Radu on the throne. Felipe must use all his cunning to stay one step ahead with help from the monks who possess the Philosopher's Stone.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking for Felipe to break his vampire’s curse and rescue his beloved Zaybeth from the Netherworld. Felipe’s epic journey takes him from the fierce battlefields of the Ottoman Empire to the New World, where discovers a darkness even more significant than his curse—slavery. Felipe is where the cursed live…Between Heaven and Saturn.
Excerpt
“Forgive
me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been nearly a century, give or take a
decade or two, since my last confession,” Felipe proudly proclaimed.
“What
have you been doing in that time, my son?” the priest asked.
“Well,
I have killed roughly, 30,000 people,” Felipe said matter-of-factly.
“Okay,
Mister, this is a confessional, not a joke booth,” the priest said angrily.
“I
can assure you, Father, I’m not joking.”
“Now,
see here, I’ve had enough of this nonsense!” The priest slid open the
partition. The booth was empty. The priest walked to the other side of the
confessional and examined it from top to bottom.
Empty.
The
priest felt a slight breeze. He turned around. Standing in front of him was an
eight-foot-tall, winged vampire.
The
priest fainted.
Author Info
Author Idalita Wright Raso is a freelance writer and actress based in Cleveland, Ohio. She has written feature-based stories for the Lake County Gazette in Ohio. Idalita is best known for the Eye of Saturn vampire horror series: The Daughters of Saturn Book One and Between Heaven and Saturn Book Two.
“From the moment I read Bram Stoker's Dracula I was hooked on vampires! They are sexy, dark, scary, and mysterious. My favorite television show growing up was Dark Shadows. I have seen every Christopher Lee Dracula movie, Hammer Films produced. And yes, I even loved the 1972 American blaxploitation horror cult classic, "Blackula" and "Scream Blackula Scream.
While writing the Eye of Saturn series I also created a language called Solsatihel—the language of Saturn. The inspiration for the language came as a result of listening to the 2005 NASA's Cassini-Huygens spacecraft audio recordings of Saturn's intense radio emissions. The recordings had eerie whistling, frightful whooshing, and haunting warbling echoes.
My vampire series incorporates the classic Gothic vampire with magick, the occult, and sci-fi—interweaving the genres into one horrifying vampire tale."
