The city of London is slowly crumbling, with two prominent sides tearing the city apart. There are the half-men who are
too grotesque, too unworthy of living the normal life they once had, all because of the way they were transformed against
their will. Then there are the humans, the ones who would rather dominate the world around them than save the city from
total chaos.
Among these humans are two clans, the Conors and the Volsons. Both have the thirst for power and both are willing to do
anything to take over London, then England, and then all of Europe. The leaders are agreeing to combine both clans, with
a marriage between Signy, the daughter from the Volson clan, and King Conor.
A betrayal from the Conor clan leads to Signy, who was inspired to do anything for power by her father, the leader of the
Volson clan, and Siggy, her twin brother who was skeptical of the entire idea to begin with, on a crazed road to
vengeance.
It is up to Signy and Siggy to recapture what was once theirs and hopefully restore London back to what it used to be, and
what it used to stand for.
BLOODTIDE takes readers on a futuristic journey that they will never forget. With its raw material and controversial plot,
the story is a page-turner that will leave everyone on the edge of their seat. Melvin Burgess continues the story of restoring
a city that is completely damaged in the second novel, BLOODSONG.
