The streets are a battleground
for humans, vampires, and demons alike—where survival is a skill, love is a
weapon, and the most dangerous act is to care for another . . .
Keir is an assassin devoted to
Lady Arianne, the last of her royal bloodline. He is sworn to protect her, and
that means eliminating any threat to her life. But while on a mission, he is
set upon by a pack of demons, barely escaping with his life.
Cleopatra lives by a set of rules
so rigid she no longer knows her true self. But her kind and loving nature
resurfaces when she finds a man, bloodied and dying. Moved to help him, she
risks her future and her life to save a stranger far below her aristocratic
station.
Their attraction to each other is
as powerful as it is forbidden. But even as their love grows, Keir keeps his
true identity a secret—and this lie is not the only threat to their love . . .
or their lives.

The Cities Below
Which cities? Below what? I see I've got
some explaining to do. When I began writing about vampires I had one question
that badly needed answered: What if vampires are real? Not were real in
the past, but are real today. I certainly haven't seen any, so where are
they? Simple. They live out of sight. It's hard enough to get on in this world
without having an aversion to sunlight, the abnormal ability to process blood
internally and heal most anything that ails you, not to mention fangs and an
excessively long lifespan. I can hear the town folk with their pitchforks
coming as we speak, and in all likelihood, that would be exactly what they
would have faced centuries ago. Who wouldn't want to protect their families
from that kind of persecution? With sunlight being a death-inducing weakness,
it only made sense for my vampires to live underground.
Several underground vampire cities are
scattered throughout Europe, but France holds the largest population. The Cities
Below series centers around the four major cities in France. Two cities,
Balinese and Valenna, are in norther France. Talvane is within Paris, and
Galbraith is farther south. A city full of vampires seems like it should be
easy to find, right? One of these cities is beneath an abandoned chateau, while
another is often visited by humans, and the city beneath Paris is incredibly
active day and night. The fourth city is marked by a shed built into a
hillside. Should you manage to discover which building, or which shed on a
hillside marks the entrance to a city, you'll never make it inside. Vampires
guard their gate, their cities, and the knowledge of their existence viciously.
Do vampires live outside these cities and
above ground? Of course. As with any society, this is bound to happen, but even
those living on the fringe have a rigid set of rules to follow. Exposing the
existence of vampires could mean their extinction, and none will take that
risk.
