Atlas Rose

I was their payment on a debt...and they were my salvation. My vampires dragged me from the river and brought me back to life, and in turn I saved the one man who gave his life for me...my bodyguard....

He captured my wrist, smooth black leather against my skin. The kiss was hungry, and urgent. His hard chest pressed me against the bricks and before I knew it, my hand rising to meet the wall. He had me. Gloved hand pinning my wrists above me. His finger at my temple....

They’re sinful. Beautiful. Deadly. And more dangerous than the wolves who hunt us in the woods. Three Vampires rule our world. And now I find myself in their clutches. Abducted in the dead of night, I’m taken to a market where 11 others like me are paraded in front of the Sinful....

The dance haunts me. The music, the seduction. The sex. I’m like an addict, searching for the Sinful in dark corners, remembering the way their moon-kissed skin glowed under my touch. But I came here for a reason....

Paid by a cruel King to track me down, they’ll stop at nothing to take my powers...my purpose...and my will. But I have a destiny. One hidden from me for my entire life. My future lies in the darkness and the untapped power in my blood....

They’re sinful. Beautiful. Deadly. More dangerous than the wolves who hunt us in the woods. Three vampires rule our world. We call them the Sinful. And now I find myself in their clutches. Abducted in the dead of night, 11 others like me are paraded in front of the Sinful....

The Sinful are my enemy. But are they also my protectors? I can’t get them out of my head. Or the things they want to do with me. My past is dragged to the surface. But it’s a past I don’t know. Someone else’s memories invade me....

Their touch still burns my skin. The memory of their lips as vivid as a summer squall...when darkness swallows me. Hands over my mouth. I’m taken by a coven of deadly vampires. Ones who will seek revenge on those I love. But they aren’t the only beasts at my door.

My vampires raced the darkness to save me from the light. I fought Corvina’s sire. Fought the wolves and the cold. But there’s one thing I can’t fight any longer. The truth of who I am. With teeth and savagery, I face down death itself....

Through the howling terror, the Vampire Castle is attacked. Wolves come crashing through the walls, and a new enemy rises. One that shakes me to my core. He carried me from the filth and the terror and taken to a place out of reach....

Revenge has come for me. They want the truth of what happened to Corvina. But they aren’t the only beasts at my door. The Wolves are howling. I can hear their cries grow closer in the cellar. Only one can save me, only one can race the night to rescue me....

Their touch still burns my skin. The memory of their lips as vivid as a summer squall...when darkness swallows me. Hands over my mouth. I’m taken by a coven of deadly vampires. Ones who will seek revenge on those I love....

They want the perfect companion. One who’ll not only sit beside them on the thrones, but who’ll occupy their beds. We’re to be judged, challenged, and selected, one by one, to continue the hunt. They’ll punish us. They’ll seduce us....

I’m a pawn in their deadly game. A toy. A temptation. They want the one mortal beside them on the thrones...and one in their beds. Three vampires played with us. They dressed us up and paraded us in front of unsuspecting victims....

The dance is over, but the battle has just begun. I hate them. I want them. My body craves them like a drug. The dance haunts me. The music, the seduction. The sex....

I’m cold, hurt. Confused. I’m trying to hold on to my anger and rage. But Cassian carries me from the darkness. He whispers words filled with anger. Words filled with rage. Words filled with retribution....

When the Vampires are away...more come to play. Only this unwanted visitor is powerful and deadly. And the Sinful are scared. I try not to draw attention when Arkyn’s maker finds me. Cruelty glints in her eyes....

Blood and death. My world was torn apart in the blink of an eye. I turned to the only ones who could cover up what we’d done. I turned to the sinful. They moved with predatory power...concealing the terror we left behind....

One person holds the thread binding my past and my present. And as my true nemesis reveals herself, I realized I knew nothing all along. Hate has revealed her true face. At the center of her retribution is me....

It’s a dangerous game. Retribution. Revenge. Hate entangled with desire. Cassian saved me. Loran protected me. Arkyn avenged me. I stood there ready to plunge my blade deep until I found a letter...from someone I knew....
