Publisher Comments:

The University of Pittsburgh campus is anything but quiet the summer Jamie, a hunky college sophomore, feeling brokenhearted after being dumped by his first boyfriend, decides to audit a summer class on Egyptology taught by the magnetic Dr. Danilo. Several of the university's star athletes are then found murdered, their bodies completely desiccated, but Jamie has other things on his mind, as Danilo's attention turns decidedly nonprofessorial. Soon, he is swept up in a passionate affair with his teacher. When Danilo invites Jamie to travel with him, first to Paris and then to Egypt, the young man leaps at the chance, but in Paris, events turn sinister. At the Louvre, an exhibit of Egyptian artifacts includes a relief of a pharaoh kissing his son and successor, who bears more than a slight resemblance to Danilo. Taken alone, this means little, but a murder identical to those in Pittsburgh occurs, and Jamie begins to have uneasy suspicions. In Egypt, Jamie questions Danilo and learns of an ancient cult of kings connected by a single bloodline extending through centuries. Danilo is on a quest to invigorate this line of kings by initiating them and training them to use their power. Those who had been denied their birthright died so that Danilo might live. Now Jamie must choose whether to return to the world he has known, or to join his lover and mentor in a life of passion, power and blood.

I have never NEVER read a book from cover to cover before. I have heard people talk about how they have become involved with a book, and indeed were unable to put it down - but I had never experienced this. Until I read "The Blood of Kings." Each page, every chapter, I could NOT stop reading because I had to know what was going to happen next.

The plot is so wonderfully laid out, and there is so much mythology and history tied and twisted into the story, that you have to almost sit back and think - "Wow, this author really absorbs history and wants to share it through his characters."

Not only did I finish reading this book wanting more, but I was DELIGHTED to find out there is a sequel to this book - which I have just ordered! I am so thrilled to be able to tell the World that this book is absolutely wonderful, and a very entertaining and educational read!

Thank you John Mich Curlovich - you are a truely talented author!
