A lethal sword.
A dangerous mission.
A seventeen-year-old girl finding her way in a world that is nothing like she remembered.
When Maylin Kavanagh’s parents surrendered her to The Program, they swore it was for her protection. After being confined in a small underground cell for nearly two years, she is finally released.
But the world has changed.
Most of the populace has been wiped out by a deadly disease, and the rules of society have regressed. But that’s not the worst of it. When her group is kidnapped by a band of rogue vampires, Maylin realizes the decline of the human population has brought other races to the forefront—races she never knew existed. And now they’re all battling for survival and power.
In his father’s absence, Thane Warwick must lead his people. He has two priorities: find his father and find humans who can supply blood to his tribe. Immediately intrigued by his latest captive, he becomes interested in Maylin for more than just her blood, but he soon discovers that he must make a choice between his father and her.
Despite their attraction, Maylin and Thane each have an agenda, and only one can be the victor.
VAMPIRE’S BANE is the first book in the VAMPIRE’S BANE series. While it does end at a natural turning point in the heroine’s journey, it is an ongoing story, and not all questions will be answered. You will need to read this series in order.
Purchase:
I fired the gun.
Time slowed as the
bullet spiraled toward his shoulder.
Another shot rang
out, though I had no idea who had fired it.
My bullet pierced my
target in the shoulder. It pushed him back, but it didn’t knock him
off his feet. He released the girl, and her body crumpled to the
ground. The second figure immediately crouched over her.
I fired at the man
still on his feet, hitting him in the chest. His head snapped up, and
he glared directly at me.
Shock assaulted my
system. I sucked in air, my mind desperately searching for some logic
to apply to the scene before me. His eyes glowed an eerie red, a
luminous warning to stay back. Blood dribbled down his chin. I fired
a third time, but his swift movements caused my bullet to miss its
mark.
Before I could
process what was happening, he was on me, his hands holding my head
like a vice. He bit into my neck, and I swung my arms backward,
hitting him with the butt of my gun.
“Enough!” a deep
voice commanded.
My captor raised his
head, but his hands kept me firmly in their grasp. Someone was
crying, but I couldn’t turn my head to find the source.
A man stood in the
shadows, and the two strangers who had attacked us stood quietly,
reluctant to release their captives.
“I said ‘enough.’”
The man strolled calmly toward us. As he reached the soft glow of the
fire, I realized that he was tall, his body lean and muscular. He
didn’t look nearly as old as I had first guessed. His height and
authoritative voice disguised his youthfulness, and I detected just a
hint of a European accent, probably British softened by years of
being in America.
“Thane, surely you
realize we’re hungry and there are so few of them left,” my
captor implored in a soft Irish lilt.
“So you’ll solve
our problem by killing them?”
“I won’t, but….”
Even though he still
gripped my head, I took advantage of their distraction and snaked my
gun across my waist and between my side and left arm. I squeezed the
trigger, sinking a bullet into my captor’s stomach.
He grunted and
hissed air out between his teeth, but his grip never lessened. How
was it possible that gunshots seemed to have little effect on him?
In seconds, the one
they had called Thane gripped my wrist, the sudden movement knocking
the gun from my hand. He shoved my captor away from me and contained
me with one arm wrapped around my body like an impenetrable band of
iron.
Thane chuckled
softly over my head. “Let’s not underestimate this one.”
