A Blood As Bright as the Moon by Andrea Morstabilini (Signed Bookplate)

Frankenstein, Germany.

Ambrose, a young vampire, lives a life secreted away from the modern world with the rest of his clan, all of them under the spell of the charismatic Regina, who spins stories of salvation for their kind. Their grand plan? To build makeshift wings and fly to the moon where a safe haven awaits for all vampires.

But Ambrose harbours a secret: he is not ready to abandon the earth, and he is in contact with a human who believes he can be saved. As the rest of his kind prepare to flee their home, Ambrose is torn between loyalties.

However something else is on the horizon. The Royal Diurnal Society – a group with sinister plans for vampires – are closing in, and if Ambrose isn’t careful, he could find himself at the centre of a terrifying and mysterious experiment.
