Blurb/Synopsis:
I,
Hallie Mortenson, didn’t asked to be sired and thrown into a ditch. I never
asked for my life to be turned upside down or to live in a world where sunlight
is nothing more than a fading memory.
It’s
against The Dictum to sire someone as young as me, but no Deamhan pays
attention to those rules anymore. With the entire world against us, we’re more
concerned with survival and avoiding the feeling of being suffocated rather
than adapting to the drama we inherited.
I think I’m starting to learn that
lesson…slowly. However, with threat looming around every corner, my sire’s
return to the city is making things worse. He has a secret agenda; one which
involves a very old and powerful Deamhan bent on revenge against his sire line,
which includes me.
I keep telling myself that I’m not like
them and that there has to be more to life than this.
I am a Deamhan and this is my story.

Excerpt: PG13
Running back and forth from one place to
another would make anyone tired, but not Deamhan. There’s something about
running at tremendous speed, with the wind slapping against your face, which
felt right. For me it felt like I was part of something bigger and better than
who I was. It was liberating to be under the nighttime sky, especially when
there were other Deamhan and a vampire running with you.
The city was dead quiet when we arrived at
Dark Sepulcher, the vampire club of all vampire clubs. There were a few human
walking about but not enough to notice or feel threatened. I was able to pick
up on several different scents from the other side: food, old water, and
vampires but nothing that resembled a Deamhan. Alexis knocked on the front door
and soon heard slow footsteps approaching and the faint sound of someone
grabbing onto the doorknob.
When the door opened, we stood face to face
with a short, stocky bald black male. He was shirtless. A cigarette dangled in
his mouth and his brown eyes looked us over. Alexis smiled at his appearance
and he returned the gesture.
“Is everything ready?” she asked.
The vampire puffed out his chest and
stepped aside. “Yeah. They’re all waiting inside.”
“They?” Still uncomfortable with going into
what she called ‘the vampire’s den,’ Ji didn’t want to move an inch further. I
calmed her by grabbing her hand.
“Lambert’s a friend to us,” I whispered.
“He’s your friend. Not mine.”
Alexis walked and I followed with Ji and
Tank close behind me. When the vampire male slammed the door shut, Ji jumped
and her eyes grew dark. I squeezed her hand and continued to tell her that
everything was going to be fine. However, I had no idea what awaited us when we
walked beyond the black drapes which separated the front area from the immense
interior. There were too many vampires to count and their scents made my own
senses go into overdrive. Then came the hunger pains. They felt like my stomach
gnawed on itself. Suddenly these vampires began to look delicious.
Lambert sat at the bar with his right hand
holding onto a cup of blood and his left hand resting on his leg. Everything I
knew about him, I learned from Remy and the others. Before he was turned into a
vampire, he’d lived a mercenary lifestyle which had made him the hard and
sometimes unremorseful individual we knew today. He was a warrior and raided
villages with his band of mercenaries. He was responsible for the deaths of
countless families and he kept the head of his victims as trophies. He was also
a born leader.
“Lambert!” Tank held his arms out as if the
vampire would embrace him like a long, lost friend. “How have you been? Looks
like you’ve been doing good for yourself!”
Lambert stood up from his stool. He wore a
long white shirt that extended to his knees and dark pants. His dark hair was
slicked back.
“You’re lucky that I have an interest in
Hallie’s wellbeing.” He sipped from his cup. “If it wasn’t for her, you’d be in
my dungeon right now.”
“Why do you and your vampire girlfriend
always resort to torture threats?” Amused, Tank took one look at the horde of
vampires under Lambert’s beck and call.
Alexis sauntered over to him. Lambert took
notice and he gently placed a kiss on her cheek.
I searched the vampire crowd, hoping to see
Remy or Enlai. Unable to find them, I asked Lambert if they’d been in Dark
Sepulcher.
“I have my vampires looking for them now.
When they find them, they’ll bring them here. Don’t worry.” He smiled.
“So, they’re still alive?” Ji asked.
“Yes. Surprisingly, Zila let them live.”
“Of course she did. They aren’t her
targets,” Tank replied. “I am.”
“And what to do about that…” Lambert tapped
his chin in thought. “Oh! I know.” He clapped his hands and the vampires in the
club moved quick to surround us. Unaware of what was going on, I prepared myself
for anything.
“So, that’s your plan?” Tank’s smile
dissipated from his face. “To kill me? You know better than that Lambert.”
