Valérie Berthier is born into a world of strife and confusion. Torn from her mother’s womb in an alley in Florence, Italy, she spends her infancy in agony. As she grows, she is cast into an asylum, her Father too weak to care for her. From Italy to America she battles the hardship of asylum life, until the day she breaks free. Only then does she reluctantly accepts that she is unique; she was born a vampire. But to live as a one, there are consequences.
Theresa (Finch) is an average New Jersey coed until she’s smitten by the mysterious newcomer to class. Rocked by the vampire transformation process, she turns to Valérie for assistance. Caught up in a vampire turf war, the two are soon separated, but Valérie refuses to accept her lot, determined to escape her drudge-like existence and re-unite with her vampire friend.
A Mother’s Curse is a two voice epic that spans a century and two continents.
Ian writes as Theresa (Finch) Scholes: a very determined teenager, forced to grow up quick in the violence of a vampire world.
April writes as Valérie Berthier; born a vampire, with the words of her mother still ringing in her head, guiding her through a tumultuous life.
Twisting and turning, Valérie and Finch find themselves drawn to an inescapable climax against two of the oldest vampires alive. Yes, they have been given training, but will it be enough to survive?
