PRIMERA ENTREGA DE VAMPYRIA, LA SERIE DE FANTASÍA JUVENIL DE LA QUE TODO EL MUNDO HABLA. LOS VAMPYROS COMO NUNCA LOS HAS CONOCIDO. En el año 1715, el Rey Sol se transmutó en vampyro y de esta forma se convirtió en el Rey de las Tinieblas. Desde entonces, su dominio despiadado y absoluto se extiende por el reino de la Magna Vampyria: una gran federación que comprende Francia y sus reinos vasallos, congelados para siempre en el tiempo. El pueblo llano sufre bajo el yugo de hierro de un tirano que los hace vivir en el miedo y se apodera de su sangre para alimentar a la aristocracia vampýrica. Tres siglos más tarde, Jeanne, una joven plebeya, asiste impotente a la masacre de toda su familia. Buscando la manera de vengarse, asume una identidad falsa con el fin de ser admitida en la prestigiosa Escuela de la Gran Caballeriza, donde los jóvenes aristócratas se preparan para vivir como cortesanos en Versalles. Cuánto tiempo sobrevivirá entre las intrigas de los inmortales, las traiciones de sus compañeros y las abominaciones que se arrastran bajo el oro de Versalles? Una profunda inmersión en una historia única y alternativa del Gran Siglo, ensombrecido para siempre. Una fantasía épica y barroca situada en el límite del tiempo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
FIRST INSTALLMENT OF VAMPYRIA, THE YOUNG ADULT FANTASY SERIES THAT EVERYONE IS RAVING ABOUT. VAMPYRES LIKE YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN THEM BEFORE.
A fiery heroine seeks vengeance against a royal court of deadly vampires in this epic alternate history set in lavish Versailles. In 1715 Louis XIV transformed from the Sun King into the King of Shadows when he embraced immortality and became the world's first vampire. For the last three centuries, he has been ruling the kingdom from the decadent Court of Shadows in Versailles, demanding the blood of his subjects to sate his nobles' thirst and maintain their loyalty. In the heart of rural France, commoner Jeanne Froidelac witnesses the king's soldiers murder her family and learns of her parents' role in a brewing rebellion involving the forbidden secrets of alchemy. To seek her revenge, Jeanne disguises herself as an aristocrat and enrolls in a prestigious school for aspiring courtiers. She soon finds herself at the doors of the palace of Versailles. But Jeanne, of course, is no aristocrat. She dreams not of court but of blood. The blood of a king.
