Part of Immortals After Dark, book 4
First published 2008
Conrad Wroth's own brothers lock him away in an abandoned manor to protect others from his growing madness. But the vampire warrior discovers he is not alone. Néomi Laress haunts the estate where she died decades ago. Once a celebrated ballerina, she became a phantom after her murder and now exists invisible to the living world. Conrad can see her when no one else can, and she can touch him when she touches nothing else. Their impossible attraction ignites a dangerous passion that threatens to push Conrad deeper into insanity. Néomi finds herself drawn to this brutal immortal despite the risk he poses. As their bond strengthens, the evil that once destroyed Néomi's mortal life returns to threaten her again. Conrad must choose between the control he desperately needs and the violence that might be the only way to save her.
