Regency Dracula/The Draculia Vampire Trilogy Books in Order

This series takes vampires in a more romantic, more dangerous direction than Gleason's Gardella books. The Draculia stories are set in 19th-century London, but instead of following hunters, they focus on the Dracule themselves, men and women bound to darkness, desire, and an old bargain that has given them power at a terrible price.

That bargain is the engine of the whole trilogy.

The Dracule are tied to Lucifer and live with immortality, privilege, and appetite. On paper, it sounds like freedom. In practice, it traps them in a life shaped by temptation, manipulation, and moral decay. Gleason uses that tension well. These books are full of seduction and danger, but they are also interested in what it would take for someone steeped in selfishness and bloodlust to change, or whether change is even possible.

Each novel centers on a different lead, which gives the trilogy a slightly shifting feel from book to book. One story may lean harder into the rake-and-innocent dynamic, another into betrayal, another into the question of whether love can be trusted at all when so much has already been corrupted. The romance is a major part of the appeal, but it is never soft or easy. Love in this world is risky. It can expose weakness, invite vengeance, or crack open truths a vampire would rather keep buried.

The London setting matters here too. These are not modern paranormal romances wearing a historical costume. The books use the manners, social rules, and shadowed corners of the period to heighten everything. Ballrooms, drawing rooms, townhouses, dark streets, and whispered scandals all feed the mood. The atmosphere is elegant, but there is always something sharp under the surface.

Readers of the Gardella books will notice links, and that connection makes sense. Both series occupy a related supernatural world, but the Draculia books look at it from a different angle. Instead of asking what it costs to fight monsters, they ask what it costs to be one, and whether desire, memory, or love can pull anyone back from the edge. Vampire of the Caribbean widens the frame a little, carrying the same dark-romantic energy into a swashbuckling side adventure with Lord Raine St. Albans and Captain Arial Bonny.

So what should you expect? Dark historical paranormal romance, morally messy immortals, sharp attraction, betrayal, and a lot of tension between pleasure and redemption. These books are a little more decadent than Gleason's hunter stories, and that is very much the point.
