Publisher's Summary

The Warlord Wants Forever...the sensually charged novella that started it all, now with an exclusive excerpt from MacRieve!

In this scorching series opener, New York Times best seller Kresley Cole introduces the captivating Immortals After Dark series. The book also includes an exclusive extended excerpt from MacRieve, the highly anticipated next installment in the series.

The Warlord

Nikolai Wroth, a ruthless vampire general, will stop at nothing to find his bride, the one woman who can "blood" him, making his heart beat and filling him with strength. Coldly interested only in the power his bride will bring, he can hardly believe when Myst the Coveted awakens him body - and soul.

The Seductress

Famed throughout the world as the most beautiful Valkyrie, Myst has devoted her life to protecting a magical jewel and to fighting the vampires.

Wroth provides her with the perfect opportunity to torment her sworn enemy - for with his new heartbeat comes a consuming sexual desire that can be slaked only by her. Denying him, she flees, struggling to forget his searing, possessive kiss.

The Hunt is on

She eludes him for five years, but he has finally chased her to ground and stolen her enchanted jewel, giving him absolute power over her. Now that she's his for the taking, he intends to make her experience firsthand the agonizing, unending lust she subjected him to for half a decade. Yet when Nikolai realizes he wants far more than vengeance from Myst and frees her, will she come back to him?

CAN A VAMPIRE SURVIVE THE MYST ?

First story in the IMMORTALS AFTER DARK SERIES by Kresley Cole . An amazing listen that dives deep into a exciting and well developed world of Immortals .
Valkyries are said to have been born after a female warrior screams for victory and courage during battle. .When she is killed on the battlefield and her cry is heard by Odin and Freya . They preserve her courage and thus her rebirth as a Valkyrie. Valkyrie are often described as a symbol of the force and power within every woman both good and evil with glorious beauty. They hold power and prestige over everyday mortals and some Immortals . The Valkyrie, per say , eat lightning ⚡️ which provides supernatural speed , strength, and senses.
Enter Our Valkyrie, Myst being held within a cell in Mount Oblack Castle observing a battle . Between the Horde made up of the fallen merciless cruel blood drinkers and the Newly formed Army of the Forebears who forswear drinking from the flesh . Myst , described as the most beautiful and deadly of her kind , of course wishes to battle them all for her most hated enemies are the Vampires. Myst is ever hopeful that the Hordes Ivo will be killed during this attack upon the castle as he is her jailor . But either group Myst considers her sworn enemy.
Enter the Forebear General Nickolai Wroth who seeks to gain knowledge about the Lore , basically all immortal beings , from Myst . He is unaware as are the other Forebears what exactly they have within the cell and cells of Castle Oblack . He tries to bribe her with her release but this tactic fails next comes torture . But as he seeks to interrogate her he stumbles across the fact ….She is his bride 👰‍♀️ therefore he is unable do do her any harm . But more importantly his dead body awakens and his heart begins to beat for her .
Now Myst’s friends arrive at the party about this time and poor Nickolai loses her in their escape for the next five years . Nickolai , now alive cannot enjoy sexual delights with anyone other than his chosen bride and five years chasing said bride breeds a lot of anger and frustration to say the least . But he also dreams of her life events which brings out jealousy and more questions than answers. But present day New Orleans is where he finds her trail. But Myst refuses her husband’s until he reaches and removes a piece of jewelry from about Myst. The first ever it was able to remove it , EVER . This piece of jewelry removes Myst’s free will totally. She is under his control…..
But what does the future hold for a Valkyrie and a Vampire? Can Myst ever fall in love with an Enemy? Can Wroth change his bride into accepting him as her beloved ? This audiobook is awesome and totally hot ….ENJOY 😊
