When Shadows Love the Light
[book cover under construction, click here to read story]
Sebastian was the most feared vampire of his time—ruthless, relentless, a nightmare made into flesh. His greatest triumph is in killing the greatest Queen Huntress to have lived. But this very act twists his fate when in an act of retaliation, the gypsies lay a curse on him, reuniting his soul with his body.
Tormented by grief and guilt, Sebastian longs for death and begins the mission of bringing about his own demise. Yet he cannot surrender to it. He alone holds the balance between humanity and the supernatural, a tenuous order that would collapse in his absence. Especially with rumblings of a possible alliance between the Incubi and the Succubi, who are better apart than together.
In the midst of a brewing war, the Queen’s daughter, Alina, enters his court on a diplomatic mission. Yet he recognizes the true purpose of her visit: his assassination. And he welcomes it.
But as he watches her, learns her, he sees something he never expected—not just a hunter, not just an assassin, but a leader. A force as unyielding as her mother once was. She has the power to uphold the balance in his absence, to take his place when he is gone. She is both his destruction and his salvation.
Yet the closer he gets to her, the more he begins to waver. The more he wants to live. But the more he cares for her, the weaker he becomes. Another cruel trick of the curse? Or the final answer to his suffering? The one thing that makes him want to live…may also be the thing that kills him.
In a land far away, where kings and queens still reigned supreme, there lived a girl who wanted more than what the crown had to offer her. Though born into privilege and married into greater prestige, every night she took to the streets of the city, unseen and free. Normally a pardonable offense to a besotted King, if not for the fact that freedom seemed not to be all she was seen to be seeking.
