Blood Hunger

The book has flashbacks to the 15th century throughout, but is set in the present day. It begins with explorer, Max Low, and his girlfriend, Lucia Ferrara, making a discovery in Romania. Dubbed the 'Ice Prince', the find is significant enough to put him and his girlfriend in the media spotlight. Vampire Iliana and her sisters travel to the United Kingdom. The news that the 'Ice Prince' had been discovered ceases their many years of blood abstinence and they unleash a bloodthirsty terror on humankind leaving a trail of death from London to the Welsh countryside. When Max is hospitalised, Lucia sets about to prevent the rise of the vampires. She is aided indirectly by a detective, Adrian Michaels and a dying vampire named Ivan.[3]

Blood Hunger was loosely adapted for screen by Sean P. Parsons.[7] The film, known as Terminus, was designed to act as a prelude to the novel, prior to the main character's arrival in London.[8] It was produced by Innerface Films and The Breathing Dead.[7] The 42 minute drama film stars Katherine DuBois (who played Anushka, who is a vampire that protects humans from other vampires), Philip Fletcherand and Bruce Allen Dawson. It also features the character of Marquise played by Stacey Jackson who is loosely based on the Blood Hunger character Monica.[7]
