The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Centuries ago, there was a beauty who did not live

happily ever after. She fled her vampire Ottoman

Prince, who now rules the Primati supernatural

on earth with his half-brother Alaric, the terrifying

Enforcer. The runaway beauty's only living

descendant, seventeen-year-old Stella Avery, is

juggling the care of her ailing grandfather with the

discovery that life is not what it seems in Portland,

Oregon. Stella's Romany family shadow her every

move and she discovers that an ancient enemy

wants her dead. Her best friend, Amanda, reveals

herself to be an actual witch and Stella must

uncover the truth about the curse that has killed

every woman in her family before their twenty-

first birthday-or suffer the same fate.



For Alaric, his role as Primati Enforcer means utter

loyalty to his brother. Half-angel, half-demon,

he has no place in his heart for a mortal. Feared in

his own right, Alaric finds himself torn between

the law he has protected for hundreds of years

and a young girl who cannot be loved without

bringing about her own death.
