It is ever changing, ever evolving, and this means in multiple senses of the word.For Andrew he might not be happy with his life, but he accepts it. He goes to work, he plays video games, he's accepted he will die alone. That he can't find soul mate after spending a long time looking for the right person. As someone who is used to calling his own shots he's about to find out what happens when you play hooky, and take things at face value in Wild Ride. In a three day period his life is about to change in ways that he could never predict, and he'll never complain about.

Wild Ride

“I sense it even now. People thirst for it; the entire country is mad with desire for it…”A dying man's cryptic letter catapults California college student Steven Roberts on a mystery-shrouded quest into the labyrinth of the war-torn Balkans. Singled out for the task by an enigmatic professor, Steven overcomes his doubts and plunges into the maelstrom to uncover long-lost clues to an ancient Emperor's deeply buried secret, a long-forgotten evil that slumbered for centuries only to reawaken … and a love that defies death itself.Meticulously researched and set against the background of collapsing Yugoslavia, “Kiss of the Butterfly” weaves together intricate threads from age-old Balkan folklore and modern events, to create a tapestry of passion and betrayal, obsession and desire, the thirst for life and the hunger for death.“Kiss of the Butterfly” is a literary thriller rooted in actual events. In the year of his death, 1476, the Prince of Wallachia Vlad Dracula committed a bloody massacre under the cloak of medieval Bosnia's forested mountains in the town of Srebrenica. History repeated itself 500 years later in July 1995 in Europe's worst massacre since World War Two. For most people, the two events seemed unconnected… Until now.“A fast-paced adventure into a modern heart of Balkan darkness… A truly original take on the blood-sucking undead.” –Publishers Weekly“No capes, no glitter: a vampire novel for readers who value sturdy mythology and a sophisticated understanding of history, along with warmblooded, human connections… skillful… authentic… fascinating… inspired… Lyon executes it perfectly… vivid… engaging…” –Kirkus Reviews
