Seznamte se s Nathanielem Cadem, speciálním agentem americké Tajné služby. Už sto čtyřicet let je osobním strážcem prezidentů USA. Cade je totiž skutečně „speciální“. Je nesmrtelný. Je to upír. Románová prvotina amerického profesionálního scenáristy Christophera Farnswortha je překvapivě čtivou a zajímavou kombinací politického thrilleru a upírského románu. Akceptuje-li čtenář existenci upírů a dalších nadpřirozených jevů, čeká ho svěží a poutavý příběh, psaný vtipným a svižným stylem odrážejícím autorovy filmové zkušenosti, příběh plný dějových zvratů a napínavých scén a vrcholící originálním rozuzlením. I renomovaní kritici uznávají, že Krvavá přísaha kvalitou jednoznačně vyčnívá ze současné módní záplavy děl s upírskou tématikou.
