For more than two hundred years, Dr. Willanton Sanmour has accepted one immutable fact of vampire existence: daylight belongs to someone else.
Then his four-year-old son, Dayne, reaches for the front door after sunrise.
Dayne doesn't want to stop being a vampire. He simply cannot understand why being one means the morning is forbidden to him.
His solution is wonderfully simple:
Sun medicine.
Willanton's is not.
A respected physician and scientist in the modern nation of Mavory, Willanton begins following an unexpected biological anomaly-one that eventually leads him away from institutional research and toward an unprecedented organism created through plant science, inheritance, and blood.
He calls it the Blood Tree.
Creating it is only the beginning.
Over sixteen years, while children grow, marriages deepen, cities awaken, Christmases come and go, and ordinary family life refuses to wait for scientific breakthroughs, Willanton must determine whether his creation can do something once considered biologically impossible.
And if it can, he must decide how much risk a father has the right to take with the people he loves.
THE BLOOD TREE is the first novel in THE BLOODLINE SOCIETY, an adult speculative fiction series set in a richly developed modern world where humans, vampires, madorgaleons, and other bloodlines have always shared civilization.
A story of science, family, medical ethics, inheritance, and the extraordinary significance of an ordinary morning.
Different Blood. One World.
