Over the centuries, he\u2019s survived vampire hunters, the bubonic plague, and the eccentricities of his friend Moreland (who may or may not be the mother of one of his children).<\/p><p>But can he \u0003survive an emerging hybrid vampiric species that threatens both humans and vampires? Even more importantly, can his emotions survive the human friendships he has to forge to win an apocalyptic battle of the ages? Jade is a gaming and streaming superstar who oversees a house full of male and female \u201cinfluencers.\u201d He has occasional flings with some of the \u0003influencers that live in his large Atlanta estate. He feeds off others when he needs some quick sustenance.<\/p><p>It\u2019s all very convenient for him until his world is shattered by a series of murders. To complicate things, he has suddenly found himself emotionally attached to his human FWB Daphne.<\/p><p>He is less enamored with another human, Atlanta PD\u2019s Detective Standmoore Owens, who has identified Jade as a suspect in the murders. When Jade learns that Owens is a vampire hunter in a world that forgot about vampires a long time ago, they find themselves in a tense alliance as they uncover a larger menace that threatens humans and the world\u2019s few remaining \u0003vampires with extinction. As the world around him starts to cave in, Jade must also deal with emotions that are stirred up by his human love interest and the possibility that his wife may still be alive. It\u2019s hard enough to prevent an extinction event. But when you live the wild lifestyle of a vampire influencer who has an almost fatal attraction to humans, it becomes a dark comedy of errors. In the end, it\u2019s Jade\u2019s own \u0003humanity that holds the key to the fate of the world.<\/p><p>Psalm of Vampires is free if you have Kindle Unlimited.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-47e30cc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"47e30cc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-293a66c\" data-id=\"293a66c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b23ff7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b23ff7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Reviewers are loving MagicLand:<\/h3><h4>&#8220;Bastille\u2019s debut artfully combines magic, technology, and romance&#8221; \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publishersweekly.com\/9781631955648\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Publishers Weekly<\/a><\/h4><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kirkusreviews.com\/book-reviews\/charles-bastille\/magicland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kirkus Reviews<\/a> calls MagicLand from\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">New York Publishing House Morgan James Publishing,<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0&#8220;A bracing dystopian tale that deftly mixes magic, evolution, and romance.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/featheredquill.com\/magicland-a-novel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Feathered Quill<\/a> says, &#8220;Bastille&#8217;s deftly-wrought prose is nothing short of sublime.
