In 1870s Clichy, France, fifteen year old Verity
Van Velde the witch witnesses as her mother Amandine, betrayed by her witch
hunter lover, screaming in pain while a mob rejoices her burning at the
stakes. A century and a half later residing
in Paris, Verity still distrusts males.
Also in Paris, the Order of the Stake sends top
knight Rook to end the murderous spree of the Zmaj tribe and their leader
Slater; who recently turned rogue with many marked kills that have brought
unwanted attention to the secretive vampires.
When four vampires attack Verity,
Rook intercedes and rescues her. As they
work together to end the killing spree, the vampire knight and the witch fall
in love; but she distrusts all males after watching her mom’s horrifying death
and he fears that undesirable feeling after what happened centuries ago.
The second In The Company of Vampires romantic
urban fantasy is a thrilling Parisian tale that provides readers with a unique
glimpse of the City of Lights. The
protagonists are a nice pairing of cross paranormal species who share in common
love and doubts, which make their relationship somewhat similar to the stars of
the equally engaging The Vampire Hunter.
