Description

Written by the talented Marcus Sedgwick and set in the 17th century, My Swordhand Is Singing is based around the inspiration of the original vampire folk of Eastern Europe.

Featuring Tomas and his son Peter, they arrive in Chust, but there are many things that Peter cannot understand. Why does Tomas dig a channel of fast-flowing waters around their hut so they live on an isolated island? Why does Tomas carry a long battered box everywhere they go – and refuse to tell Peter of its contents?

But, Peters drab existence is changed, as he is infatuated by the beautiful gypsy princess, Sofia, and in time becomes drawn into her deadly quest as these travellers are in fact, Vampire Slayers…

A story of redemption and resolution, every member is focused on the dead returning to wreak revenge on the living.
