|---|
"Blood Ties chronicles the existence of Sabra Raine, a beautiful young woman, torn from her family in the sixteenth century by a malevolent vampire known as Ravenal and condemned to eternal life as one of the undead. In the year 2000, Ravenal crosses Sabra's path once again when he engages in the pursuit of Sinja Marquette, a talented young artist from New York. Sinja is also a direct descendant of Sabra's. With the help of Sinja's best friend Kurt Van Helsing, Sabra embarks on a mission to protect Sinja against the monstrous Ravenal and save her from the curse of the undead."
