OrangeReviewStarChrysabelle is a camarré, a human chosen for the pure, exquisite blood she can provide the vampire Lord Algernon. She despises this slavish existence and finds a means of escape. But someone murders Algernon, and Chrysabelle is the primary suspect. Soon she is captured by Mal, an undead who has vowed never again to drink from the vein, a difficult task since he finds Chrysabelle attractive on many levels. Meanwhile, the powerful Tatiana vows to the dark one that she will find the camarré and the ring that she is believed to have stolen. More supernaturals round out the ensemble: a were-leopard who is cursed to turn into a kitty when not in human form; Fiona, a ghost who haunts and cares for Mal; the Preacher, a rare vampire who can walk in daylight. Prophecy, curses, and devilish machination combine for a spellbinding debut of dark romance and pulse-pounding adventure. Two more novels will follow: Flesh and Blood (Nov.) and Bad Blood (Dec.).
