Les Corbeaux: The French Vampire Legend brings vampires into the world of Regency romance. The four books, published between 2017 and 2020, draw on French folklore to create a secret society of vampires living among the European aristocracy. The “corbeaux” (ravens) are ancient, powerful, and very good at hiding in plain sight.
Emma V. Leech treats the vampire mythology seriously rather than playing it for laughs. The romances pair mortal women with vampire lords, and the supernatural element raises the stakes beyond the usual social obstacles of Regency fiction. Readers who enjoy both historical romance and paranormal fiction will find this series hits a satisfying middle ground between the two.
