Returning to Nuln after her adventures in Praag, Ulrika finds the Lahmian vampires preparing for war. Across the Old World, their rivals, the sinister von Carsteins, attack their strongholds and lead the witch hunters to their hidden lairs. Spurned by her sisters, Ulrika forms an uneasy alliance with the von Carsteins in a plot to destabilise the Empire by striking at its very heart - they plan nothing less than the assassination of Emperor Karl Franz. With enemies on all sides and the Empire in flames, Ulrika must decide whether her future will see her living among the humans, or as their enemy.

By Ursula K. Raphael
TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
In the Ulrika trilogy, each book has been an improvement from the one before. The third installment in the Ulrika series is by far the best, with Ulrika well-established as a Warhammer protagonist.
Originally from the Gotrek & Felix series, Ulrika was Felix's former love interest. The Kislevite noble traveled with Gotrek, Felix, and Max Schreiber, and was then kidnapped by Krieger in Sylvania, who turned her. Bloodborn, the first in the series, took place between her appearances in Vampireslayer, and Manslayer (both Gotrek & Felix novels).
In Bloodforged, the second Ulrika book, the young vampire has had her fill of the Lhamian vampires in Nuln, and tries to strike out on her own. Unfortunately, when she arrives in Praag, she has conflicts with the Praag vampires who demand that she pledge her loyalty to Boyarina Evgena or be killed.
In the first book, Ulrika was somewhat pitiful, gaining only slightly more self-control in the second book. She doesn't really make much personal progress from one book to the next, until Bloodsworn - when she finally takes a stand against both humans and vampires, determined to remain free from any "chains" in her life....

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ulrika Magdova Straghov had been turned into a vampire against her will by Adolphus Krieger. Instead of dying beneath the blade of Slayer Gotrek's axe that night, she had become a daughter in darkness to Countess Gabriella, a Lahmian vampire, for training. Ulrika had left the countess for awhile, but now returns to Nuln. Yet as Ulrika enters Nuln she finds the Lahmian vampires preparing for war. Across the Old World, their rivals, the sinister von Carsteins, attack their strongholds, lead the witch hunters to their hidden lairs, and are amassing an army to strike. Only a few hours back in Nuln, Ulrika finds herself leaving her mistress - again - and being hunted by her sisters - again. But this time Ulrika is determined to prove herself by bringing back the head of their enemy. However, Ulrika sees red when the humans strike down the only vampire sister she cares for. Angry at the entire sisterhood for treating her as a prisoner and wanting vengeance upon the whole human race, Ulrika forms an uneasy alliance with the von Carsteins.
Count Grigor von Messinghof of Sylvania is who masterminded the vampire revolt, but that was only the beginning. Von Messinghof plots the assassination of Emperor Karl Franz and to use the Lahmians as scapegoats. Once the Empire has been destabilized, the most ancient and evil of mankind's enemies will return from the grave to drown them all in an ocean of blood. Mannfred von Carstein lives! And Ulrika's vengeance would be glorious!
***** FIVE STARS! The brilliantly warped mind of Nathan Long is impossible to predict. As a vampire, Ulrika has been just as honorable as when her heart still beat.... Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars
The trilogy has ended, but i already hope it'll be a quadrilogy instead.
23 Jun 2012
Format:Paperback
I've been waiting for this book ever since i finished the last one, Bloodforged (Ulrika the Vampire), and when it finally came i wasn't disappointed although i wasn't exatly overwhelmed either. it was a very good and entertaining read, and Nathan Long's vidid and lively descriptions of the universe and characters is as always very exciting and entertaining. i still find myself question why Ulrika ALWAYS seems to take the wrong decisions, or at least decisions i would call stubborn and sometimes plain stupid, and thereby found myself quite irritated at her, as a male reader, and in the process did distance myself, not only from the character, but from the book itself. but overall it was a good experience, and even though i prefer the Gotrek & Felix characters whom i can relate to, i still without a doubt would read another new Ulrika book if Nathan Long decides to make it a quadrilogy instead of a trilogy. definitely worth my money and time. now it's finally time for me to give Nathan Long's Blackhearts: The Omnibus (Warhammer) a try since i've postponed it for way too long now, and i assume it'll be another thrillride. by the way i highly recommend listening to Robert Rich and Lustmord's ambient album Stalker while reading any of the warhammer fantasy book since it really captures the dark, ominous, gloomy and gritty atmosphere of the Warhammer universe, and have made my reading experiences some vividly, imaginary and emotionally stimulating journeys. cheers!
