Forever Konrad [Signed Edition]

SYNOPSIS A baby boy is plucked from the deck of a North Sea ferry. He s any mother s dream. Adopted into a family in the village of Cherry Burton, his infancy becomes a rampage. He s not mean, he s just inquisitive, his new mother insists. It s his 18th birthday. News of the boy s existence spreads across Europe. Konrad, charged with writing the true stories of his kind, is roused from a century long Bavarian nap. He tracks the boy s parentage across Belgium and then heads for East Yorkshire. It s a race: claim the boy for the Vampire Council before an ancient species can take him as its own.
