Bloodlines

Cursed by a terrible betrayal, Janos has wandered the Earth for 500 years as a vampire, condemned to feed on humanity with neither regrets nor memories of an earlier life. Now, as fragments of his past life are beginning to surface, Janos must travel the globe to evade The Alligare, an ancient, clandestine group whose mission is to eliminate Janos and his kind and, under the command of their enigmatic leader, to retrieve a golden ankh. Thirteen-year old Alysin Martin lives on the outskirts of Chicago. Like most girls her age, Alysin fills her summer vacation with friends, shopping and talk of boys, until one day, a chance encounter in a small occult shop leads her to discover a truth that could end her life. In "Bloodlines," the lives of Janos and Alysin intersect, connecting past to present, all the while revealing lost secrets of the hunters as well as the hunted.
