THE PROGENY (DESCENDANTS OF THE BLOOD COUNTESS #1) is a fantastic new story by New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee. I have not had the pleasure of reading Tosca Lee before, but I am going to make it a point to do so. She brings a new take to an ancient mystery of the blood countess, Elizabeth Bathory, one of the most notorious female serial killers in history. She is rumored to have brutally killed more than 600 servants and bathed in their blood, which is how she got her nickname the Blood Countess.
The story begins with Emily Jacobs preparing to leave the Center where she has had her memory completely erased. Here are some things about Emily, she is 21 years old, she starts renting a tiny cabin in the woods of Maine for reasons she can't remember and she has no memory. Oh, and she is the direct descendant of the murderess the Blood Countess. She soon realizes she is being hunted.
Emily begins an odyssey that will take her through underground Europe and its ancient orders. She finds love, friendship, trust and memories along her journey. This story has it all from romance to the gruesome 400-year old war between the descendants of the Blood Countess and the secret society dedicated to killing every last one of them. Only Emily holds the key to her survival and the answers to the question of the whether the Blood Countess deservedly earned that moniker. A thrill ride to the end with a cliffhanger that will ensure that we are all eagerly awaiting the next installment!
