Book Description
“What was wrong with me to antagonise a vampire of his standing to such a degree? I knew I had become too rebellious, too sure of my own place in this world. I was aware that Dark had been encroaching, that I played so often in its shadow I was losing sight of the sun, of my Light. There were times when I truly felt consumed in anger, for all that had happened, for all that I had suffered and lost.” Leaving Auckland and moving to London, Lucinda has to learn new rules and assimilate into a new life she has no love for. Rebelling against everything that just doesn’t seem fair, Lucinda upsets not only the new Master of the City but the local shapeshifter pack as well. Not to mention her fairy liaison and the Iunctio itself. Vampires demand her attention and covet her power. Fairies demand her compliance and seek revenge. And the shapeshifters; it’s anyone’s guess what they want, but Lucinda is sure that she’s registered on their radar, whatever their radar is set to detect. A dreary, Gothic, monstrosity of a house, a Nosferatin partner who is scared of the dark, too many rules and too many obligations and things are beginning to fall apart. But, Lucinda is a fighter and fighting for the innocents in her city is not all that she is determined to do. She’ll fight for her freedom and for the Light - even as she slowly realises just how far she is already entwined with the Dark.

Book Description
“I’m supposed to be the one that calls him back toward the Light. 'I am the Light to your Dark. You call to me as I call to you. I will always hold you dear.’ But, it was getting harder. I loved him and it’s not as if I never knew it would be difficult loving a vampire. I just never knew the degree of difficulty it would entail.” Michel battles his rising Dark, all but losing his Light within. His line falters, his life is in turmoil and Lucinda is ultimately shut out. Without his kindred to draw him back to the Light, just how Dark will Michel become? And can Lucinda survive without him in her life? To bring him back towards the Light they both must face harsh truths and their deepest secrets and desires. But a vampire’s number one rule is to survive at all costs. Just what will Michel do to survive and how will it affect Lucinda? An ancient vampire appears in London feasting on innocents with abandon. Lucinda’s role as the Sanguis Vitam Cupitor calls her to the streets of Knightsbridge and into the grasp of this powerful and hungry Dark predator. Calling on all her reserves she is barely able to survive with her life, but fails to save those humans he blithely kills. Guilt wages with fear as she realises this is not a one-time event and attempts to discover the meaning behind his appearance and Dark hunger which cannot be assuaged. In the shadows left by the Dark vampire lurks a strange new threat. Dressed in the guise of a mischievous, gorgeous and compelling young man who catches Lucinda in a spell which could not possibly be of this Earth. It’s not just his beauty that traps Lucinda though, it’s the fact that he has Light. A Light so similar to her own that she is drawn to it, can’t stop herself reaching for it. But she ultimately knows, to touch it could prove her downfall. But, can she resist? The world is turning Darker, greater threats than vampires are about to appear and Lucinda is the key. Try as she might, without her kindred by her side her chances of success are dimmed. For together they are stronger, apart they grow weaker. And there are always those on the sidelines who are willing to take advantage of the weak. They are vampyre, it is in their nature to hunt prey and Lucinda is the ultimate game for the predator within.

Book Description
“I felt hot tears streaming down my cheeks at his words. Spoken so carelessly but with such shameless intent. He knew how I felt. How I had been feeling. How lost and alone and full of grief my days had been. Avery was not a friend. Not even a trusted acquaintance. But, he understood what I was going through. Even if he didn’t have a compassionate bone in his entire buffed body, he knew what I had suffered. I didn’t have to justify my behaviour to him.” Walking out on her life and hiding in the only place she can think of that the Iunctio - the vampire governing body - and in particular, the Champion, can not find her, Lucinda faces eternity alone and on the run. Heartbroken, bereft and quite desolate she hides in amongst the lowest forms of vampire society. Doing what she can to keep the innocents safe, while denying herself the support she desperately needs to recover from such personal losses. A saviour of sorts arrives, but can he be trusted? Avery Rousseau has only ever been interested in himself. But the handsome, arrogant and always so well-put-together vampire does seem to care. At least he offers a distraction from the heartache and loss. Lucinda battles with her inherent mistrust of the one vampire who understands what she is going through. But, should she allow him inside her crumbling walls? More than just vampires stalk Lucinda though. There is a fairy who claims she is his one true love. Lucinda is called to his Light, she can’t help reaching for it, but to do so could have everlasting consequences she may not be prepared to face. As time runs out - first with the Iunctio, then the Ljósálfar - Lucinda must do what she has to do, to survive, before her heartache breaks her in two. But memories plague her, her mind starts to play cruel tricks and slowly reality begins to crumble, taking a once strong and confident Nosferatin down as quickly as a predator catches its prey. And now, there are just so many predators, Lucinda may not stand a chance at all at avoiding being their prey.

Book Description
“I wanted to hold him. I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to show him how much I loved him and had missed him. I wanted five minutes, ten, the rest of our eternal lives. I wanted long enough to make love to him, to taste him, to be tasted by him, to reaffirm our Bond. But I felt a Dark shadow above me, all around me, pressing in from every side and every angle, that threatened to cut our time short.” Recovering from the fallout of a vampire virus, Lucinda Monk-Durand, vampire hunter by birth and Kindred to the Champion of the Iunctio, has had to dig deep to keep her fractured heart beating. Her motto, though? Never show fear. Never give an inch. And always stay on guard. But something is slithering out of the shadows in Auckland City and it smells of death and rot and Dark tidings. Add in an Old God who wants to win an eternal war against Ra — due back any day now to cause more havoc — and Luce just knows, these bad guys are going to be deadly. The fact that they’re already dead doesn’t even register on her WTF metre. As the days turn into nights, Lucinda begins to question just where is the God of the Underworld anyway? Using every trick up her sleeve to face this new threat, and keeping a wary eye out for the evil divine being’s return, Luce doesn’t even see the hit coming. But then, she’d never been very good at politics, had she?

Book Description
"His lips met mine again, this time in a slow, soft caress, conveying everything he had just said in those beautiful words that had reached my very soul. I could have drowned in that kiss. I could have lived there for eternity. It filled me up with everything I needed to survive. He gave me life through his lips and I treasured it.’" Recovering from recent losses, Lucinda finds herself in a Dark place. She starts to doubt who she has become. She seeks reassurance, that despite the Prophecy and what that has meant for her life, she is still remaining true to herself. The American Families of Vampires close in on Lucinda and her kindred. There is one who insists Lucinda is his and none other’s. He has not forgotten her and will do anything, anything at all to make her his. Loyalties are tested and fall short, and Lucinda must find the strength to fight for something she cannot even remember. But, that is not all Lucinda must battle. The Queen of Darkness appears in amongst the mayhem to exact her plans for Dark’s success and the final confrontation of Light and Dark comes to a head. Without the steadfast support and love of her kindred, Lucinda would not be able to face what is to come, but still, she holds something of herself back. Will she never give herself completely to Michel? And if she does, will it be enough to save her? And enough to save the Light from the Dark once and for all?

Join familiar, much-loved characters and gain an insight into the KINDRED WORLD with this enthralling anthology of short stories! Included in this collection of exciting tales from the kindred are the following titles and points of view: ~ ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL (Amisi’s POV) “Nosferatin,” he says, and imbues it with power, with his Sanguis Vitam. It calls to me. I dance and spin, and he laughs, and something in his aura sings; a song it has sung before but not for centuries. It is sad and joyous, lonely and complete. It changes everything. . . ~ THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY (Michel’s POV) “I lost our daughter,” I say with as much dignity as I can muster. Which, in the face of an irate Nosferatin, is very little dignity. I can sense the silver in her jacket’s pockets. I can sense Lucinda’s need to reach for it. I do the only thing I can think of. I step closer to the danger and swallow the distance between us. “Ma douce,” I say softly. . . ~ LET THERE BE LIGHT (Luc’s POV) I watch for a few more moments and then step out of the shadows. If Zahra is not aware I am here, then I will eat my stake in a heartbeat. Delaying this meeting only makes me appear weak. Never show fear. Even if it’s fear of the woman who entwines your soul with hers, and who threatens to entwine your heart along with it. . . ~ HOME SWEET HOME (Yves’ POV) I am alone, but not unarmed. I carry two silver stakes — my most prized possessions — which I wrap my sweaty palms around inside their pockets. My heart beats too fast, and it takes everything in me to remember what I have been taught and to slow it. I stand still in the shadow of a patisserie’s stoop and breathe in a measured cadence. The vampire stills too, all but invisible in its shadow. It waits; a patient hunter. . . NEVER SHOW FEAR bridges Part I of KINDRED which ends with DREAMING OF A BLOOD RED CHRISTMAS and Part II which begins with DARKLIGHT.

Book Description
“You may not be aware, ma douce, but not all vampyre have a kindred, some will live out their existence without such beauty in their lives. I have waited five hundred years for you." Vampires, shapeshifters, ghouls and magic-users abound in a world where the Norms, (those humans without paranormal abilities), are ignorant of the creatures of the night and the supernatural species that live alongside them. Lucinda Monk is a bank teller by day and a vampire hunter by night, but she wasn’t always a part of this world. Thrown into a heady mix of powerful people and sensual beings, she’s had to find her way practically blindfolded in amongst the creatures of the night. Lucinda, though, is a capable and realistic kind of girl. Her motto: Never Show Fear. But there's something different about Luce. Something those creatures she hunts want. So, in order to stay one step ahead of the enemy, she has to let the enemy in. In all his compelling, seductive and delicious ways. Sleeping with the enemy has never meant so much before. But can she trust him? From the urban streets of the city to the dark alleys and sinful bars that promise a wickedness a girl from the farm has never before been exposed to, Lucinda gets drawn irreversibly into the dark side of life. And if the Master of the City has his way, she will always be his. For eternity.

Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh is back in the shadows of a deadly, beautiful world where angels rule, vampires serve, and one female hunter must crawl out of the darkness to survive. The severed head marked by a distinctive tattoo on its cheek should have been a Guild case, but dark instincts honed over hundreds of years of life compel the vampire Dmitri to take control. There is something twisted about this death, something that whispers of centuries long past…but Dmitri’s need to discover the truth is nothing to the vicious strength of his response to the hunter assigned to decipher the tattoo. Savaged in a brutal attack that almost killed her, Honor is nowhere near ready to come face to face with the seductive vampire who is an archangel’s right hand, and who wears his cruelty as boldly as his lethal sensuality…the same vampire who has been her secret obsession since the day she was old enough to understand the inexplicable, violent emotions he aroused in her. As desire turns into a dangerous compulsion that might destroy them both, it becomes clear the past will not stay buried. Something is hunting…and it will not stop until it brings a blood-soaked nightmare to life once more…

Book Description
Seventeen-year-old Lorelei Patio is the adopted daughter of a two-hundred-year-old vampire, Sergio Patio. She never realized why her family has had to move often or why she is not permitted to get too friendly with other young people. In fact, except for one shocking moment, that seemed more like a dream, Lorelei never fully realized who and what her father was, nor what her sisters were brought up to do for him. But one day, that all changed. Sergio's 'daughters' serve a very important purpose: they are all beautiful young ladies who can easily attract - and lure - men so Sergio can feed on their blood. And now Daddy expects Lorelei to be the obedient daughter he needs and bring him new victims. But when Lorelei meets the shy but handsome Buddy in school, she quickly falls in love with him. He feels the same way, but wonders why she doesn't want to take him home to meet her father. Lorelei knows what will happen if she does and tries desperately to keep her two worlds apart, but she knows she can never truly escape her fate as a daughter of darkness.
