O Negative, a novella set during the Nightmares of History series is a novella set in Ireland that follows Paddy Kelly and Tess Le Fanu on their road trip through hell. Here's a sneak peak at the characters.
Two main characters
O Negative is a novella, so you don't have to deal with my usual too many POVs. All of
it is from the perspective of Paddy Kelly.
Patrick
Kelly was born in Belfast and drafted into the second world war at a
far too young age. He and his sister Georgianna who is a nurse just
about made it through the war. Back in Belfast, Paddy lifts bricks all
day and it's killing him a bit inside. Paddy just wants to play violin
which is why he accidentally summons the leanan sídhe Tess and they
embark on a journey. Paddy hates journeys.
Tess
is a leannan sídhe which means she needs blood to survive. During her
years on earth, Tess never really learned to have her own interests. It
was always about what the people whose blood she drank wanted. Tess is O
Negative and can therefore only drink O Negative blood.
A couple of Villains
Arabella Bennett
Arabella never really wanted to be a leannan
sídhe. Raised by Tess and a demigod, Arabella was spoiled rotten when
she was little. She was raised as if she owned the world, so now she
believes that she should. Arabella is AB+, so she could drink all blood,
but she prefers O Negative.
Laoghaire
Laoghaire
has never been Tess' favourite leannan sídhe. Whereas most leannan
sídhe have a grace about them, Laoghaire takes a more direct route to
getting people to sign her contract.
