![A Cup of Blood: Dark Fantasy in Post Arthurian Britain by [Hill, Troy A.]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41TJDwCajDL._SY346_.jpg)
This is a story about a vampire called Maria who starts off travelling by sea to escape some evil witch hunters. The witch hunters consider Maria a blood witch and will kill her if they get the chance.
When she reaches port, initially she goes in search of somewhere to stay. In a tavern she meets an old crone who is friendly, and seems to know what Maria is straight away, but shows no fear of her. After talking to her for a little while, the crone tells Maria a prophecy about Maria's future. It's a prophecy filled with danger and risk but also love and family. The crone warns Maria that she will face a hard choice about her destiny. Then the crone tells Maria that she won't remember the prophecy until the time is right.
Eventually they part company and Maria starts looking for someone to feed from. Maria meets a man who seems willing to spend some time with her. They go to a hayloft for a little private time. Just as Maria bites the man, his necklace falls forward from his top and Maria is shocked to find that the necklace indicates that he is a witch Hunter. At that same moment he realises what she is. He immediately tries to attack her, but he loses his balance and falls from the hayloft to his death. When Maria realises he broke his neck in the fall, she knows that no one will believe it was an accident, so she runs as fast and as far as she can.
From here onwards Maria gets into hot water figuratively speaking with more witch hunters. She is attacked by witch hunters yet again and is in incredible danger. Maria is in a serious fight for her life.
I really loved the tension in this particular fight scene. It's so well written that you feel like you are actually there with Maria, and the witch hunters
If you want to know what happens next to Maria, you will need to read the book I'm afraid, because that is as much as I will say, other than it's a very good story and that it links in nicely with the Penllyn Chronicles by the same author.
