A series of Count Saint-Germain, a vampire. I didn't realize this when I started reading the book, and still enjoyed it very much (and I don't normally like vampire books!). This more focused on the period, and the psychology of life
If you like a traditional old style vampire romance with lots of historical content then you will like the St. Germain series by Yarbro.
Sort of dull. Great for background of the time. Not much action. I don't think I'll buy any more in this series.
