A vampire soldier weary of life…
Centuries ago, Sebastian Wroth was turned into a vampire–a nightmare in his mind–against his will. Burdened with hatred and alone for ages, he sees little reason to live. Until an exquisite, fey creature comes to kill him, inadvertently saving him instead.
A valkyrie assassin dispatched to destroy him…
When Kaderin the Cold Hearted lost her two beloved sisters to a vampire attack long ago, a benevolent force deadened her sorrow–accidentally extinguishing all of her emotions. Yet whenever she encounters Sebastian, her feelings–particularly lust–emerge multiplied. For the first time, she’s unable to complete a kill.
Competitors in a legendary hunt…
The course will take them through ancient tombs and catacombs, seeking relics around the world, and the prize for victory is powerful enough for Kaderin to change history and prevent her sisters’ deaths. Sebastian competes as well, and begins winning–her. But when forced to choose between Sebastian and reuniting her family, how can Kaderin live without either?
REVIEW: We first hear about Sebastien in Nikolai’s book (The Warlord wants Forever). Sebastien is Nikolai’s little brother and you can feel how much he loves and misses this brother. After centuries with no contact with anyone most especially his older brothers Sebastien meets his Bride and that is the last thing that she wants. Kresley kept me plugged in and turning every page. The emotions that are awake after centuries of nothing are almost too much for the pair. I found my self cheering for Sebastien and then suffering with him. I can hardly wait to finish this series, well not finish the series as I think that it is up there with the Dark-Hunters (Kenyon) and the Carpathians (Feehan), but catch up to all the ones that are out.
