When artist Brie Lark
left her vampire ex and her straitjacket of a hometown to breathe free
in New York City, she promised herself two things: she’d never go back
to Meiers Corner, and no more vampires. The last thing she expected—or
wanted—was to be sent back home on an assignment. But her boss at the
FBI needs her undercover on a murder case, working with a black-haired,
black-eyed giant god of a man who’s her idea of perfection, except for
one thing—he’s a vampire.
FBI Special Agent Seb Rikare is an
ancient vampire hardened by loss. He’s cut all emotions to protect
himself and leads a deliberately steady, almost sterile life. The brash
young woman forced to pose as his lover irritates him, with her jangling
bracelets and colorful hair. But as much as she irritates him, he finds
himself drawn to her lively spirit and he’s tempted to make fantasy a
reality.
The Empire of Lucent
has stood for centuries as a beacon of strength and light. But now an
otherworldly realm has unleashed an army of nightmarish creatures upon
the peaceful empire, spreading a lethal plague called The Decay which
consumes its victims mercilessly from the inside out.
The king of
the Empire of Lucent calls upon “Lady of Death” Zephera Travelle—an
infamous assassin with a weakness for braided cinnamon bread and a
striking aptitude for murder and mayhem. He sends her on an impossible
quest to find the one person who can concoct a cure and save the realm
from total annihilation.
Together with her best friend Zadkiel, mage
extraordinaire Brenner, girly city-guard Oriana, and broody warrior
Daegan, she embarks on a journey that will test her wits, will, and
sanity. Along the way, she discovers that no one—and nothing—is as it
seems, including herself.
