Imagine: a fantasy world, but not one based on medieval/Dark Ages European culture and myth, but rather on the tropes of the spaghetti Western and Chinese Wuxia. Add steampunk elements. Mix well.

Beneath the dusky glow of a millennium moon, an ancient mystery is unfolding. Two very different vampires have each consumed a vial of blood containing the life force of two primordial princes. Braden Bratianu was only five years old when he was sired into the Vampyr race. The only fledgling to be made - not born - he struggled with his new identity. Kristina Riley Silivasi came from a troubled home and a tragic past. Rescued from a Dark One by an Ancient Master Healer, then mistaken for an ancient vampire’s destiny, she was swiftly ushered into a terrifying universe.

Scheinbar wendet sich alles zum Guten. Nick und Esther haben einen festen Platz in der Gemeinschaft gefunden und tragen ihren Teil dazu bei. Routine scheint einzukehren, und Esther fühlt sich immer sicherer. Als der Winter kommt, zieht die Gruppe vorübergehend in ein nahegelegenes Dorf, wo sie der Kälte besser trotzen können. Selbst Weihnachten wollen sie dort feiern. Alles könnte so schön sein, doch Esther fühlt sich zu sehr von den Männern bevormundet. Und dann passiert das, wovor sie die ganze Zeit schon Angst hatte.

Nur knapp konnte Esther Luke und seinen Anhängern entfliehen. Einzig die Hilfe von Nick, dem Mann, der eigentlich selbst zu der düsteren Bande gehört, rettete sie vor weiteren Demütigungen. Zutiefst verängstigt, all ihrer persönlichen Gegenstände beraubt und mit jemandem an der Seite, dem sie nicht vertraut, verlässt sie die Stadt. Schon bald wird ihr bewusst, dass sie nicht mehr in der Gegend bleiben kann und ihren Unterschlupf aufgeben muss. Dass sie dabei zwangsläufig auf die Hilfe eines Fremden angewiesen ist, macht es umso schlimmer.

Esther und ihre Freunde haben ein tolles Weihnachtsfest miteinander verbracht. Noch schöner ist die Tatsache, dass sie und Nick sich endlich nähergekommen sind. Alles hätte nicht besser laufen können - doch dann kommt der Funkspruch. Ein Funkspruch, der Esther sofort zurück in ihren schlimmsten Albtraum katapultiert, der die Gruppe dazu zwingt, in den Krieg zu ziehen. Im Lager kommt es zum großen Showdown. Holt sie nun ihre Vergangenheit ein?

Sie haben die Schießerei überlebt. Nicht nur Nick und Esther, sondern auch Ben und Karla, die ihnen unverhofft zur Hilfe kamen. Nun schlagen sie sich durch die Wälder, auf der Suche nach einer neuen Unterkunft. Ihre Feinde scheinen sie endlich hinter sich gelassen zu haben, doch nun stellt sich eine viel wichtigere Frage: Wie soll es weitergehen? All ihrer Besitztümer beraubt, fühlt Esther sich den anderen ausgeliefert. Und dann geben Ben und Karla auch noch zu, dass sie nicht ganz ehrlich waren. Können Nick und Esther ihnen noch trauen?

Esther ist 21 Jahre alt - und sie ist alleine. Alleine in einer Welt, die vor einigen Jahren von einem grausamen Virus befallen wurde. Nur wenige Menschen haben ihn überlebt - und niemand weiß wieso. Nun streift sie durch die verlassenen Straßen und versucht zu überleben. Nichts wünscht sie sich sehnlicher als Gesellschaft und Sicherheit, doch sie musste früh lernen, dass Menschen in Extremsituationen nicht etwa dazu tendieren, sich zusammenzuschließen - nein. Sie beginnen, sich zu bekämpfen. Um die wenigen Ressourcen, um das eigene Überleben zu sichern.

I’m in trouble. Big trouble. A split-second reflex that saved Kol’s life, and all hell busted out. Rather, my secret busted out for all to see. Now the only thing keeping a lid on my wild, unpredictable magic is Cassius’s magical handcuffs. Kinky? Yeah, no. I need to show Gideon, Marcus, Jacob, and Kol that my nephilim blood is the only thing I lied about, even if it means letting my memories be mined for the truth. Except when that soul-scraping spell comes up hard against an unbreakable magical wall, it reveals a secret that’s news even to me.

Andrea Woods, nicknamed "Andy" by Special Agent Adam Reese, is hiding tragic secrets. As beautiful as she is smart, she is also just as secretive. Something has her terrified, and when he questions her, he can see straight through her. She might be telling the truth. But not the whole truth. And when she begins receiving stalks of French lavender after murders, the suspicion rapidly points to her. What is she hiding? It’s imperative that he finds out. Before it’s too late.

When breaking and entering turns into happily ever after.... Amelia, an independent and feisty hair stylist, is sleep deprived - horribly so. Thanks to her raucous neighbors down below. Not to mention the handsome doctor next door who brims with attitude and can’t seem to control his blaring car alarm. Gabe is a neurosurgeon from the city and a stressed single father who enjoys escaping to the country. He does not, however, enjoy being berated by his little flaming-haired neighbor, a young woman who is as outrageous in her behavior as she is in her appearance.

It used to be easy to pass as human beat cop Essie Shaw. Lay low, don’t draw too much attention. Now I’m hiding in plain sight, working for the JP, praying my teammates won’t notice my non-human magical quirks and figure out I’m a nephilim. As the magic clawing within me threatens to reveal me, my complicated emotional bond with the team grows: Gideon, whose cold, professional distance cuts me; Jacob, whose mixed messages confuse me; Kol, whose friendship warms me; and Marcus, whose wolf could turn on me.

Mellie Anne can’t seem to get rid of FBI Agent Max Lemons. He wants to protect her. She just wants to be left alone. While visiting her late husband’s grave, Mellie is the target of an attack. Max demands she follow his orders or face the consequences. When they’re thrown together in spite of their vexation with each other, Mellie realizes that maybe Max isn’t the enemy after all.

Now, she and Scott seem to be trying to find their way. Scott takes their relationship quite seriously. But what about Nikki? Perhaps she only thinks she is submissive? But when the arrival of a 17th century desk throws their lives into a tailspin, she finds herself forced to depend on him more than ever.

Barely a week after a searing wraith battle left me with amped-up supernatural abilities, I’m back to my cover as Essie Shaw, “normal” beat cop. My frostbite-inducing empathic gift and enhanced hearing, I can work with. My combat spell - weak, at best - still comes in handy. But it’s the 24/7 glowing eye thing that’s toughest to hide. When an encounter with a feral vampire nearly kills my partner (déjà vu, anyone?), the chief of police gives me a make-or-break assignment: join the JP team.
