There was a time when demons reigned. That was before they were forced to retreat to the shadows. Today, in hidden corners across the globe their evil blood still pools, and the authority of their new rulers-the Vampire Cabal-must never be challenged. Leave it to a Jersey girl to change ancient
history . . .
At sixteen, when Peri Sanguis's wild magic first appeared, she was forced to flee her Wyoming ranch-and her suddenly murderous family-to save her own life. On the East Coast, tutored by mages who run the Witch's Brew bookstore-cafe, Peri's world seems magically tranquil-until her estranged mother and a coven of witches are slaughtered. Now, to solve the violent mysteries of her past, she must put her trust, body and soul, in a sensual immortal who is every woman's darkest fantasy . . .
The golden-eyed vampire, Valen, has never wanted more than to claim an untamed female like Peri. Lured into each other's orbit, and working together against a resurrected evil brings them intimately closer-to danger, blood betrayals, all-consuming passion, and to sacrifices that must be made to save themselves and the world . . .
Contains mature themes.
