Kaderin didn’t suffer from sorrow, from lust, from anger, or from joy. Some mysterious entity had answered her and made her heart like ash. After the tragedy, she’d prayed for oblivion, prayed for the sorrow and guilt to be numbed. This baffles her.Īs if this were a matter of conscience! It wasn’t. Kaderin finds Sebastian in a crumbling castle in Russia, and she can’t kill him.

She was her Valkyrie coven’s most prolific killer, her life given over to ridding the earth of vampires.

Kaderin had been in Scotland with other Valkyrie when they’d received the call about a “vampire haunting a castle and terrorizing a village in Russia.” She had gladly volunteered to destroy the leech. Sebastian quickly realizes that Kaderin is not like the women he knew in the 1700’s, and he likes it. But he doesn’t have the alpha male attitude of our previous heroes, Nikolai and Lachlain. He is hot, strong, and a skilled warrior. He grows in confidence as he is able to arouse Kaderin’s passion again and again. Sebastian is shy and inexperienced with women. There are no triggers, no non-consent, no captivity. It isn’t dark like many of the others in this series. Woosh! This is a fast-paced adventure peppered with wit and steam. But when Kaderin is forced to choose between the vampire she’s falling for and reuniting her family, how can she live without either? Wanting only to win her, forever, Sebastian competes as well, taking every opportunity-as they travel to ancient tombs and through catacombs, seeking relics around the world-to use her new feelings to seduce her. For the first time, she’s unable to complete a kill.Īnd when the prize of a legendary month-long contest is powerful enough to change history, Kaderin will do anything to win it for her sisters. Yet whenever Kaderin encounters Sebastian, her feelings-particularly lust-emerge multiplied. When Kaderin the Cold Hearted lost her two beloved sisters to a vampire attack long ago, a benevolent force deadened her sorrow-accidentally extinguishing all of her emotions. Until an exquisite, fey creature comes to kill him, inadvertently saving him instead. Burdened with hatred and alone for ages, he sees little reason to live.
