From Paris in the eighteenth century to Saxony in the tenth, and from ancient Rome to even more ancient Greece, spanning centuries and continents, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's character, the Comte de Saint-Germain follows a sanguine trail of vampire adventures. But Saint-Germain is not just any toothsome bloodsucker; he stands apart from the vampire genre in his desire to do good. Saint-Germain believes in justice, honor, and human dignity; he is the opposite of the usual Draculan dark force. The count is a tragic figure who, because he is immortal, suffers the agony of watching those he loves age and die. Each title in the series focuses on a particular historical period and tells of the count's romantic adventures during that time. Roland Green of Booklist noted that Yarbro's books are "delectable to the history buffs among fantasy readers."
In over a dozen adventures from the 1978 debut Hotel Transylvania, Yarbro has shuttled her unlikely and undying hero through the corridors of time, much to the delight of a legion of readers.
