Sligo 1832. The cholera epidemic sweeps across Ireland like a secret, bringing with it a plague of vampires.
Unsuspecting orphan, Valentine, is unaware of Clarabelle, a girl vampire, lurking in the shadows – then finds himself flying through the star-filled sky on his way to a vampires’ lair!
When Matilda, Valentine’s sister, comes home from the fever hospital she discovers that her brother has vanished. She will stop at nothing to find him.
Valentine embarks on a new life of harrowing adventures: he is shipwrecked at the foot of an ancient lighthouse, battles with Vampire Hunters, and works as an illusionist in a Dublin theatre.
Then he and Clarabelle’s vampire family take up residence in Casino Marino, an exquisite summerhouse in Dublin with hidden rooms and secret passageways.
But an old enemy of the family seeks them out and intends to destroy them . . .
Does Valentine have what it takes to defeat him?
