My life is out of control. Raphael is now my lover, Mygi is trying everything they can to kill me to get him back, and I’m still a ruler of a dying people with enemies lurking in every shadow. And for all of that, I only have a single lead that could unravel the mysteries of Raphael’s past. His mysteries, which are also the secrets of Mygi, a company very much willing to kill to keep those secrets. All I can do is focus on one problem at a time, follow the threads, and connect the dots. I need to take the fight to them and I won’t be stopped.

I should have never looked into Raphael or the mysteries around him - mysteries I might never be able to solve. Stonewalled, I’ve gotten stuck when it comes to him. My roommate, my…mate; not that he knows what he really is to me. The less he knows, the better, but without being able to find him answers, I have to get back to my job. I’m at the back and call of the Tribunal, and I’ve been lax with my duties. It should have been a routine, but when someone makes enemies as dangerous as I do, nothing stays that way.

Dans l’ancienne Cité-État de Gujaareh, la paix est la seule loi. Sur les toits et parmi les ombres des rues pavées attendent les collecteurs, gardiens de cette paix. Serviteurs de la Déesse des Rêves, leur devoir est de récolter la magie de l’esprit endormi et de l’utiliser pour guérir, apaiser… ou tuer ceux qui sont jugés corrompus. Mais lorsqu’une conspiration éclate au sein du temple, Éhiru, le plus célèbre des collecteurs, doit remettre en question tout ce qu’il sait.

I’m Everly Abbott, and I work for one of the most dangerous vampires in the world. He’s known as Alexius, the Hunter and he’s also one of the oldest. We’ve been invited to a gathering of ancients like him, and we can’t pass on this opportunity. We’re hoping to gather information, anything that might draw us closer to the group behind Jacob’s murder, the events in Alaska, and the threatening email I received. However, we’re not the only ones attending with our own agenda.

My name is Kaliya Sahni. Obsession is a part of who I am. It’s a fatal character flaw I have a hard time overcoming. Before Raphael, before the mysteries surrounding him, I had another obsession. Who killed my family and why? Who wants my people extinct? I might finally have a chance to find the answers to those questions that have plagued me for over a century. But it would be too easy to just walk away from a man like Raphael, and he’s not ready for me to walk out of his life completely. A mate like no other, he figures out exactly how to pull me back in.

My throat is always on fire. My mouth is always dry. The only thing that helps? Human blood. As much as vampires need it, it is also our curse. Blood can drive us mad if we’re not careful. That madness breeds a wickedness as the need for blood reigns supreme. We revel in it, desiring the power and vitality it gives us. When we drain someone, we get high; it’s a rush that some vampires love to chase once they cross that line. Vampires will do anything to get it and there’s nothing that will stop them from killing hundreds.

En descendant du train à Penn Station, le jeune homme se rend compte qu'il a tout oublié : son nom, son passé, son visage... Une seule certitude : quoiqu'il n'ait jamais mis les pieds à Manhattan, il est ici chez lui. Rien d'anormal, donc, à ce qu'un vieux taxi jaune à damiers s'arrête devant lui au moment où il en a le plus besoin. Il doit impérativement se rendre sur FDR Drive ; il ignore pourquoi, mais cela a sans doute un rapport avec les tentacules qui sèment le trouble à chaque coin de rue.
