Henry Fitzroy
Tanya Huff · 8 novels · 1 novella · 9 novelettes · 8 short stories · 3 collections · 1991–2025
These short-fiction collections gather stories built around Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate son of Henry VIII turned centuries-old vampire and romance novelist, a recurring character from Tanya Huff's Blood Books urban-fantasy series. Rather than continuing that series' novel-length plots, the collections give Henry shorter, self-contained cases and encounters set in the same "Blood 'Verse." They function as a minor spinoff for readers already invested in the character from the main Blood Books.
