Part of Dark, book 31
First published 2017
Emeline Sanchez hides in a protected compound, her body wracked with agony from the blood exchange forced on her by a master vampire in the underground labyrinth. His voice calls to her constantly, giving her no peace. She watches over the children she helped rescue from the vampire's control while Carpathian warriors guard them all. Emeline knows she must sacrifice herself to protect everyone. Her beauty draws vampires like a magnet, and her psychic gifts drive them into frenzies. They will hunt her relentlessly. The children need safety, but as long as she remains near them, danger follows. Only one solution might save her: the blood of a Carpathian warrior. But accepting this help means risking another bond, another voice in her head, another claim on her freedom.
