Grave Disorder by Charlotte de ne Guerre

"This first of a series book about Claire Foster and her beautiful ancestor, the Baroness Elysia von Eschenbach, was written to intrigue and delight you. Two tales in one. Modern and gothic stories artfully interwoven into one engaging book based on the author's life. The author's discovery that she suffered from a "grave disorder" and her investigation into the ancestral genealogy of her family led her to search further. She was horrified when reading in a medical journal that this disorder, known as porphyria, was thought to be the disease of the vampires. Her research through the empirical knowledge of the ages led her through revelations beyond surprise and to enlightenment at journey's end." (From Amazon.com)
