After learning of the disappearance of an ancient Chinese artifact, “Blood of the Red Dragon”, Cathleen O’Brien accepts her next investigative assignment from the mysterious Dr. Chung Wu.

She must secure the statue that holds the Perverted Blood Magic of the Artist, Feng Xi. If he controls the statue, his power over all natural life in the first realm, would be godlike and unstoppable.

To complicate her search, Cathleen discovers her family is pledged to render one service upon request, to the beautiful Vampire, Lady Bao. She covets the statue of the Red Dragon to enhance her own powers and to bring about the ultimate destruction of her Master, Feng Xi.

If Cathleen can’t discover the hiding place of the deadly statue, this realm will belong to a Vampire or a demented Wizard! Either way, she’ll first lose two people she loves and probably her own mortal existence.

A Word from the Author

San Francisco’s China Town holds charm, excitement and hidden secrets beneath its gaudy and bustling streets.

When Cathleen O’Brien is called upon to fulfill a Blood Pledge made by her long deceased father, Liam O’Brien, she finds herself embroiled in a centuries old power struggle between a beautiful Chinese Vampire and her maker.

The Dark Wizard, Feng Xi, once Court Artist and confident to the first Emperor to rule China, created an artifact of great beauty he called, the Red Dragon. He imbued the small statue with all the powers he stole, by sucking dry his fellow Wizards from throughout the kingdom. These, he added to the powerful drop of blood from the last dragon to fly free. Feng created a dark and powerful Magic that would be used to enslave all on the natural plane to his this evil might.

Cathleen cannot allow the statue to fall into the hands of either the Vampire that’s demanded she find it for her, or, to the Dark Wizard who would drive the Mother’s world into an eternity of perversion.
