Destiny claims them. Only a dream can save them.
Dominique Marchant never asked to be a vampire, much less their destined lord. Nor did Cassidy Chandler ask to be the human queen making his rule possible through their unusual telepathic bond. Together, they struggle to subdue the millennia of bloodlust they have inherited. But she has no desire to become a vampire. And even though it would upend the world of night, he still longs to be human again, with her.
Just as Dominique’s dream of seeing the sun again could become real, unrest brews in his realm. A band of dissenters, led by a powerful ancient one, openly defies his no-kill order – and they don’t stop there. A friend is turned to ash. Dominique’s and Cassidy’s human families are targeted. And as a mortal, she is at an ever greater risk of attack. Gathering their troupe of unlikely allies, they pursue the threat deep into the Canadian wilderness, and straight into their worst nightmares.
Untold lives are now at stake, along with their own. The only way out is to accept the dark destiny they never wanted – or gamble everything on a dream that could destroy them all.
This is book 3 of Dark Destinies series of books. Fans of Anne Rice, Charlaine Harris, and Deborah Harkness will love watching these complex characters struggle for redemption and find love against all odds in this addictive series featuring fish-out-of-water characters, slow-burn romance, and small-town paranormal suspense.
