Publisher's summary

Kendal Richoux's life began during the reign of Egypt's only female pharaoh. After accepting the opportunity to drink the elixir of the sun, Kendal becomes immortal and the Genesis Clan's slayer. History has taught her the dangers of getting too close to anyone who hasn't harnessed the power of time.

After many years, she returns to New Orleans to finish a job she's trained for all her life. It's time for her to face her brother, Henri, and it will have dire consequences to mankind if she fails.

Piper Marmande believes Kendal has come to take over the company her family has built over generations. As Kendal prepares for the most important battle of her long life, Piper does her best to uncover every one of Kendal's secrets, making herself a distraction Kendal can't afford as she hunts Henri and Ora, the vampire who seduced him to a life of darkness.

Different than other Vali books

Good book. It took a bit to get into the story and to get used to the flashbacks. I'm interested in how the sequel plays out.

Love, love, love this series!!

I've always been an Ali Vali fan and this book continued to seal the deal! I'd read this book before and enjoyed it, but the narration brought the book to life. Great job to the narrator for a good character voices and emotion. Overall, excellent book! Highly recommended!

Great story. Terrible Narration.

That’s it the story is good but the narrator sounds too light and airy for the story her pacing is off.

A change

The narrator is annoying! It’s too bad because the story is really good. I can’t listen for more than an hour because the narrator voice got on my nerves. So annoyed because I’m looking forward to the 2nd book but it’s the same narrator!! But it’s Ali Vali and that’s the exception

Enjoyed the story!

This was a very good story! The main characters were very good. The chemistry between Kendall and Piper was very strong in a slow burning build up. Well done! The narrator did a good job of the story. Overall, a very good story!

Awesome story, horrible performance

Luckily I read the book before I bought the audible so I knew it was a good one. The reader had the worst accents I've ever heard. The story is great. It is a nice version of good and evil and a fun twist on vampires. I just couldn't get past the horrible reader.
