Here the shepherds call to the long-fleeced sheep, the sheep to their sweet lambs - and you can find true \u003cem\u003etelemea, \u003c\/em\u003e the softest and freshest of cheese, in the gift shop, herb-flavored, a dozen special varieties- \u003cbr\u003e Eh? You're not here for the gift shop? \u003cbr\u003e Ah, the cameras, of course  Forgive me, most of the photographers we see head straight for the ski lifts. Or the whitewater. Yet there's so much more to Tramontana  The healthy farmers bringing in the hay, the soaring churches, the wild gypsy dancers - you must dance with the gypsies - and Raven Castle  Oh, there's a place of history... and mystery. \u003cbr\u003e It held the line against the Turks, they say, and the ancient lords rooted out all manner of uncanny beings... or \u003cem\u003ebargained\u003c\/em\u003e with them. Have you heard the rumors? That Count Herodes has ruled from that castle for over a hundred years? True, I tell you, all true  \u003cbr\u003e ...Monsters don't exist, eh? Well, well, take your photographs, and we'll see  \u003cbr\u003e But you must visit the castle. The Blood Moon is coming, yes, and they say that's when vampire lords can take a Bride  Other years have come and gone with no new lady in the castle, but this year... oh, you should hear Mistral sing the omens  A lass with your modesty and charms- \u003cbr\u003e What's that? Ah, temper, temper; location shots, yes, I see. Which way to the castle... there are maps in the gift shop, and tour schedules - but we can do better than that  Why, we'll escort you there ourselves, no trouble at all, I \u003cem\u003einsist-\u003cbr\u003e Ooof. That's a feisty one  Well, she's packed off now. The other Brides should have some interesting weeks.... \u003cbr\u003e Mihail?

Chancy has been in and out of dragon lairs since learning to read, usually with a map, compass, and something crunchy and good with chili sauce. Just in case. Besides reading fantasy, SF, mysteries, and history, she also enjoys beading, manga, anime, digging up survival information, poking odd color combinations, and maintaining an aquarium of half-wild guppies and one huge South American catfish that likes to lurk unseen for weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 374\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 21, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42115353739399,"sku":"9781533466389","price":20.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/b83b2752b338c39d85f72ed8458a71fa.webp?v=1732508204","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/count-taka-and-the-vampire-brides-a-comedy-of-epic-vampire-bromance-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
