Product Description:
Borne in Blood is the landmark twentieth volume of the Saint-Germain cycle. Historically accurate, these deeply emotional novels have a devoted readership.
The year is 1817. In Switzerland, the Count has become intrigued by the work of an Austrian noble who is investigating the properties of blood, a subject always of key interest to a vampire. But when the noble’s beautiful young ward fixates sexually on the Count, the vampire fears that it is his blood the Austrian will be most interested in!
Rating:
- Twenty fifth in the Saint Germain series.
Or twentieth, if you don't count the spinoff novels centering on two of Saint Germain's vampiric "childer", Madeline de Montalia & Atta Olivia Clemens.
This is a wonderful series, if not necessarily to the taste of the fan of traditional vampire stories. Saint Germain is a vampire born about 2000 year before the common era; we see him in each book in a different historical period. In this book, he is in Switzerland in the 1800s. He is not the traditional villainous vampire; we are given ... Read More

- It's nice to catch up with an old friend
Borne in Blood is Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's 20th entry in her Saint Germain series. I've been reading the counts adventures from the beginning. At this point it feel like I'm catching up with an old friend. Her meticulous attention to detail really helps to visualize the time period of the book. Borne in Blood takes place right after the end of the Napoleonic wars. Saint-Germain has taken as a companion a woman, Hero, widowed by the war. Hero is in a struggle with her father-in-law to have access ... Read More

Borne in Blood: Count Saint Germain #20
The life of Count Saint Germain is extraordinary. This time, Yarbro sets our sights on the Swiss countryside of 1817. Culturally speaking, the Swiss population is recovering from the Napoleonic wars and very severe weather. By this time period, the printing industry had advanced, and guided by 3800 years of `living' behind him, his wisdom has now firmly been established and now he is able to help spread his knowledge through publishing. His lover, ... Read More

You've Read This Book Before
Sure you have. Except for its setting it is exactly like all previous Saint-Germain novels. Same oppressed damsel in distress, same altruistically rescuing yet personally imperiled alchemist-vampire count, same resolution, even several lines more or less lifted from past exploits in this decades-long series. As I've said before, Ms. Yarbro definitely needs to vary her plots. (Her stories need new blood, ha-ha.)
The reason I keep reading her books is ... Read More
Rating: - another enjoyable read, but not the best
As always, I really enjoyed this entry into the St Germain series, but I dont think it was CQY's best effort. The character development seemed a bit choppy, sometimes even missing, and I kept expecting something more about the Graf's studies of blood. It seemed as though maybe part had been edited out. I still enjoyed the book & would reccomend it- just not as a first read of the St Germain books. (I'd make that Hotel Transylvania, Tempting Fate or Blood Games.) Still, if you have read ANY of Yarbro's books, ... Read More
