Red Duke, The
The story
Once a valorous and honourable knight of the realm, the Red Duke was betrayed and struck down in battle but rose again before death could truly claim him. As a bloodthirsty vampire lord he undertook a long campaign of butchery and terror before being defeated once more, and entombed for all time so that he could never again menace the Old World. But centuries later the witch Jacquetta resurrects this ancient evil, and the Red Duke stalks the night again – a new reign of terror plagues the lands of Bretonnia!

Hmm...
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jamie
So, here we are again with another vampire book. Now I have just finished this today and found it was a fantastic read. The whole way through it was hard to put down and you got a real taste for the hate and madness portrayed by the people of the old world. The ending could have used a little work but all in all a really really good book 4/5
Werner does it again.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lawrence
I am a big fan of C.L Werner and own a great many of his books but The Red Duke has to be my favourite one. The plot is great and the characters are excellent from the lowest peasant right up the Red Duke they all have their own tale in this story and it makes for a really good read. The necromancer in this story has a bit of a hard time but I wont spoil the story for you so you will have to read it for your self. It was also good to learn more about a dark period in Bretonnian history and the man that caused it. I am certainly looking forward to his next book already.
