Prince of MidWest
Expected Publication Date: July 15th, 2022
Genre: Low Magic/ Alternate History/Steampunk
Cecil is a vampire desperate to find a way to redeem his soul so he can finally rest in peace. He’s told the way to redemption is to save the American Empire by finding the prince and putting him on the throne. The only problem? That prince was murdered eight years ago. Upon mentioning the dead prince to the royal court, Cecil is swiftly accused of being a spy and sentenced to an underground prison.
Ezekiel, a prisoner of the Château d’Oubli, has been merely surviving through the torturous politics of the prison. When an over-fashionable vampire appears amongst the tunnels and mines with a plan to find the dead prince, escape, and put that prince on the throne, Ezekiel sees his chance and volunteers to help Cecil escape the underground bastille.
Eager to get above ground and get back to his redemption, Cecil reluctantly joins forces with the sleazy Ezekiel. Together, with a team of convicts, and using mysterious earth magic found in the mines, they plot a breakout like none before them. No one has ever escaped the Château d’Oubli. Even if they did, revenge is a prison that follows its captives.

Rating & Review
5 out of 5
Steampunk meets vampires? How could I resist! This book did not disappoint at all. A little Count of Monte Cristo, a little Interview with a Vampire, but just a hint of each shows up in this story. I really liked the idea of a vampire wanting to redeem his soul – it was unique, and the challenges facing Cecil and Ezekiel on this strange quest were interesting. I liked how Cecil and Ezekiel were together, yet how different their characters were. The steampunk mixed with magic in an alternate historical timeline made for an intriguing setting that is somewhat familiar yet different at the same time. This was a story as captivating as a vampire’s gaze that steampunk and vampire lovers alike will enjoy greatly.
