Anna vestida de sangre (Anna vestida de sangre #Volumen 1)
by Kendare BlakeUn chico obsesionado por matar a los muertos pero que se acaba enamorando de la muerte. Cassio Lowood ha heredado una inusual vocación, la de matar a los muertos. Su padre también lo hacía, hasta que murió truculentamente a manos de un fantasma al que intentaba dar caza. Ahora, armado con el misterioso amuleto de su padre, Cas viaja por Estados Unidos junto a su hechicera madre y un gato que olisquea fantasmas. Siempre tras leyendas populares, intentan acabar con los molestos y crueles espíritus que se cruzan en su camino. Un nuevo caso les lleva a una ciudad en busca de un fantasma al que todos llaman "Anna vestida de sangre". Cas espera lo habitual: persecución, caza y matanza. Pero lo que encuentra es a una chica furiosa atrapada en una maldición, un fantasma distinto a todos los demás. Todavía lleva el vestido del día en que cometieron su brutal asesinato en 1958, un vestido que un día fue blanco y ahora aparece cubierto de sangre. Desde el día de su muerte, Anna ha asesinado a todo aquel que ha osado entrar en la casa abandonada que, una vez, fue su hogar. Pero, por alguna razón, a Cas le perdona la vida.

There, he feasts his eyes on Anne Boleyn, who caught his roving attention at court a few months earlier. Anne is in no mood to receive her king. He has torn from her the one man she loved: Harry Percy, who was forced to marry another. But King Henry VIII is not a man who gives up--the thrill of the chase only excites him more.

Educated at the French court, Anne vows that she will not share the fate of her naïve younger sister, Mary, who after bearing Henry a bastard son was cast away and married off to a country squire.
