A CONCLAVE OF CRIMSON
A Queer Vampire Romance Trilogy

For readers who crave a dark, emotional, and intense queer-normative vampire romance with a richly detailed and opulent world, and are drawn to stories of complex, passionate relationships, high stakes, and the exploration of themes such as conflict, jealousy, and the transformative power of true love.

What do you do when love threatens to destroy?

A Conclave of Crimson: A Queer Vampire Romance Trilogy transports master vampire Clove and his young protégés—Gabriel, Moth, and Teal—from their isolated home on the English moors to a stunning sixteenth-century manor in Paris. Hosted by Vauquelin, a refined French vampire, they encounter his new progeny and lover, Éric. The stark differences between their vampire bloodlines become evident at once, igniting a fierce rivalry between Moth and Éric. Moth’s contempt for Éric is succinctly expressed with the letters F and U, setting the stage for escalating tensions.

An evening hunt intended to bond the young vampires turns disastrous when an unexpected attraction blossoms between Éric and Teal, leaving them both confused and conflicted. They struggle to understand their feelings: Éric battles against his loyalty to Vauquelin, while Teal navigates emotions he never thought he’d experience. This forbidden connection threatens to destabilise Vauquelin’s fragile reality.

As the situation intensifies, Gabriel and Moth uncover a devastating truth—Teal may need more than the brotherhood they’ve forged. And it’s up to Gabriel to try and stop Moth self-combusting — no easy task even with his cursed lineage. Meanwhile, Vauquelin confronts his emotions, revealing his vulnerabilities to Clove. As immortal lives spiral out of control, Clove and Vauquelin must take decisive action to contain the chaos erupting in their new found family.

A Conclave of Crimson is a richly woven Gothic, queer horror romance with strong dark academia elements. It unites two literary vampire universes—Gabriel Davenport and Beguiled by Night—into a captivating multiverse, whilst also standing alone. Perfect for fans of The Night Circus, Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, and The Song of Achilles, this series offers a unique, character-driven exploration of love, jealousy, and the irresistible allure of immortal desire.

THE MULTIVERSE IN READING ORDER

THE GABRIEL DAVENPORT SERIES

Gabriel Davenport, marked by darkness since birth, becomes the pawn between an ancient demon and a master vampire. As his story continues he forms a brotherhood with two other young vampires, Moth and Teal. Separated from Clove, their protector, their bond is tested to its limits when Teal becomes the one hunted in a deadly game of power and vampire treachery. One by one, the brothers are torn apart, and all must face their own demons when unexpected questions and uncertainty arise. When the depravity of a necromancer closes in, only one question remains, what would any of them sacrifice to save each other?

CRIMSON IS THE NIGHT: A VAMPIRE NOVELETTE

This tiny book (a one-sitting read) was the bridge that first united our vampire worlds.

Vampires are, by nature, mainly solitary creatures. Master vampires even more so.

Vauquelin and Clove have never met, though they have orbited each other for centuries. Together with Clove’s Bloody Little Prophets, who are already spinning their own dark narrative, this night will see their perception of each other change.

Because even those whose existence is legendary, desire to know the truth.

A novelette sequel to Beguiled By Night from Nicole Eigener and the Gabriel Davenport series from Beverley Lee.

THE BEGUILED BY NIGHT SERIES

Can an immortal ever truly learn the hidden costs of tampering with fate?

Vauquelin, an ancient, queer vampire living in present-day Los Angeles, finds his time unwinding like a spool of dirty thread, depositing him back into his origins in 17th century France. He seizes the chance for redemption: to recreate the life he once loved.

As time moves forward again, he grapples with the grim realisation that his blood-soaked past is a delicate filigree — impossible to replicate without flaws. He conjures a plan to stabilise his timeline, but a random encounter with a mortal persuades Vauquelin to do something he’s never done before: throw caution to the winds.

In Book Two, Vauquelin travels to England for an audience with characters from Beverley Lee’s Gabriel Davenport trilogy. This tectonic meeting resulted in the merging of two separate vampire worlds: and the result is a new multiverse trilogy, A Conclave of Crimson.

Come burn with us.

Follow our vampires deep in the shadows of Paris: a fateful night shatters everything. Immortal blood is spilled, bonds are forged and broken, and duty clashes with devotion as two young vampires navigate a labyrinth of love and horror. This is the opulent, tumultuous world of A Conclave of Crimson.
